Run For Your Life

Veteran marathon runner Lloyd Rakusen, 63, took part in his 9th London Marathon to raise funds for LJWB. Lloyd was motivated to participate in Marathons after his son Joe's death in a car crash in 2001 and enjoys the fitness aspect of running. He also feels it is important to set yourself challenges and aims each year to raise more money than last. This year Lloyd who completed the course in 04.44.20 hours was joined by runners Susanna Domeniconi, Simon Buckden, Jo Grainger, Kim Copitch, Martin Brown & Sarah Smith. All runners completed the gruelling 26 mile course raising a combined total of pproximately £5000. LJWB would like to give their grateful thanks to all those who took part.
