Tom Wright CBE to run the Virgin London Marathon for Age UK


Tom Wright CBE, Chief Executive of Age UK, is running in the Virgin London Marathon this Sunday (April 17th).

Along with over 100 other runners, the oldest of whom is 72, Tom is raising funds for Age UK, the charity for 'a better later life'.

We are keen to support Tom for two reasons. Mainly, because we are committed to the cause ourselves and endorse the work of Age UK. But also because Tom is our (non-executive and unpaid) Chairman.

We're not sure how Tom has managed to fit in any sort of training schedule, given his relentless schedule of early starts and late finishes. However, we are very confident that he will finish, if not within three hours then certainly the same day. Tom is well on the way to his personal fundraising target of £7,500.
