David said, “What a fantastic experience running the London marathon 2017 for MRF turned out to be! It was a really wonderful day and the support and encouragement, not only from my own personal cheer team of family and friends, but the public who lined the route, shouted our names and made all the runners ‘dig deep’ when their energy levels were low, was tremendous. It was also very special to meet the other MRF runners and the organising team after the race. My business partner, Lorna and I have been so impressed with the way in which everyone within Inspire Catering has supported this great charity and our fundraising efforts, which in turn has helped us raise such a fantastic amount of money. When you sign up to run a marathon they tell you “it’s going to hurt….but if it didn’t hurt more people would do it”……and you know what? It did hurt, but any discomfort and pain in my legs will pass quickly. The memories of the day, the money raised for a special charity that means a lot to me personally, the sense of achievement of having conquered the challenge, and the support provided to me by so many people will stay with me for a very long time.”
Mary Millar, Scotland Manager at MRF said, “We are so grateful to David, Lorna, and all of the employees at Inspire Catering for their efforts and enthusiasm to get behind David and support him with this challenge. Meningitis and septicaemia can strike quickly, sometimes killing in hours, and leaving some survivors with life-changing after effects. The money raised will enable us to fund vital scientific research into the prevention, detection and treatment of meningitis, raise awareness of the disease and support those affected.”
