Network for Africa is very pleased to announce that, although the date has changed to Sunday, 4 October 2020, Alex Hale will be running in the 40th annual London Marathon race for Network for Africa. Alex is hoping to raise over £3500 for our mental health projects.
Alex is a Sales & Marketing Consultant for PwC UK. Alex has admitted ‘the furthest I have run in one go is 10km, and I have just had a new baby so it is likely to be VERY HARD’, but he has started his training and says ‘he is looking forward to raising as much money as possible for Network for Africa.
If you can, please sponsor Alex and help him to reach his target.
Back in 2018
On Sunday, 22 April 2018 Chrystal Ding ran the London Marathon for Network for Africa and raised over £3,000. Looking back, Chrystal told us ‘I had always thought of myself as one of those people who just doesn’t get on with sport and certainly not with long distance. A week or two into training, once I had cleared the 5k mark, I realised this was nonsense. The biggest surprise to me was quite how much I would enjoy the training and the sheer joy of knowing that there was something I would do 4 times a week that would sharpen my mind and my focus and bring me peace in a way I’d never experienced before’.
