Trust running group takes on the 2.6 challenge
With the London Marathon (due to take place this weekend) being postponed until October, people around the country decided to raise money for causes close to their hearts and share them on social media using: #TwoPointSixChallenge (a marathon takes place over a 26.2 mile distance).
Our Trust running group, Team LGT, decided they would raise awareness of our fund which has been set up to support the families of colleagues we have sadly lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Running group lead Jo Gennari said: "We are always very proud to represent the Trust, but this weekend was particularly poignant. Honoring the memory of colleagues and doing whatever we can to support their families made the challenge that much more important. We would love everyone to get out and do their challenge whether its a run, a walk, a cycle or anything they can tie in to encourage donations."
You can donate to the fund via the JustGiving page and follow #TeamLGT on Twitter :@TeamLGT and Instagram: @nhsteamlgt.
Please remember to keep social distancing in mind if you are heading out for a walk or a run and stay safe.
