A marathon effort

Introducing Kathryn and Tanya

Our 2018 #TeamTSA Virgin Money London Marathon runners have done us proud
- and now we are two! With temperatures reaching 24 degrees, this year’s Virgin Money London Marathon on Sunday 22 April was the
hottest ever. Undaunted, our five #TeamTSA runners rose to the challenge and between them have raised more
than £18,226.24 for the TSA.
