London Marathon 25th April 2021

Great news – the ED Society have managed to get a place for next year’s London Marathon, which has proven to be a really beneficial fundraiser to the Society in previous years.

If you think you would like to run the London Marathon on behalf of the ED Society, and you are confident you can drum up some big support and donations, please get in touch.

The place costs the ED Society £400, so it would be great if you know you will be able to raise more than this for us.

We will announce who the position will go to in August after a live draw 😊

Please let us know your interest by emailing info@edsociety.co.uk
