Meg’s Marathon Challenge

Apr 24, 2017

On 23rd April, Meg Manson smashed it at the London Marathon 2017! Not only did she raise a staggering £6,400 for Making The Leap, but she ran the marathon with a finish time of 4 hours, 23 minutes. We know that Meg spent many months training and fundraising, so we would like to say an enormous thank you – and well done! – for her efforts. The money she has raised will support 11-25 year olds across London, helping them to develop the confidence, skills and attitude to move forward with their lives and achieve their potential.
