CDW Systems order processor Liam Smith has raised over £3,000 for Leukaemia Care in memory of his nan, who died after a battle with the disease.
The 32-year-old, who beat his target of £2,500 by raising £3,023, said: “It was tough; I had some issues with shin splints this time, whereas I didn’t have injuries the previous times, and the weather wasn’t as good, so it was a real challenge. But the feeling you get at the end of the run is second to none, when the realisation hits of what you have achieved.
“To run in memory of my Nan and raise vital funds to help others in the future is all down to the people that supported me. I really couldn’t have done it without them and it’s massive for
Leukaemia Care.”
It’s the third time Liam has run the marathon. He will receive a certificate of fundraising from Leukaemia Care with the team total and how it will help the charity.
CDW Systems Group Chairman Jeremy Phillips said: “Everyone at CDW would like to congratulate Liam on his tremendous achievement. To raise over £3,000, while raising awareness of the work Leukaemia Care does, is brilliant.”
