On 25th April 2010, two staff members from Residential Land successfully completed the London Marathon.
Emma, was running the 26 mile London Marathon on behalf of the Motor Neurone Disease Association, a charity very close to her heart. It was Emma’s first time running a Marathon and she managed to raise over £5,000!
Anthony had also never entered a Marathon, and managed to complete the race in an extremely impressive 4hrs 45 minutes. Equally impressive was that he raised nearly £1500 for his chosed charity, the Severn Hospice.
Anthony has said “It was an amazing day and some of the highlights include running past Richard Branson and his daughter (I know which one I preferred) as well as crossing the line with a fancy dress beer bottle one side and an ice cream (fancy dress) the other.” However, he also added “it will be a good few years before I recover and attempt another one!”
Emma has since said that next year she intends to either swim the solent or climb Mount Kilamanjaro – so watch this space!
Residential Land would like to congratulate both Emma and Anthony for their successful efforts completing the race quickly and in one peice, and for raising so much money for such worthy causes.
Residential Land are one of London’s largest private landlords, with investment properties for Sale and hundres of modern flats to rent in London.
