Congratulations to James Gittens – London Marathon Success!
We’re proud to share some fantastic news from one of our West House Old Boys. Huge congratulations to James Gittens, who recently completed the London Marathon in support of Barnardo’s.
It was a tough day out in the heat, which definitely made conditions more challenging. James admitted he may have started a little too fast and began to feel the strain at the 14-mile mark, when the legs started to feel extremely heavy. But with determination and grit, he powered through and crossed the finish line in a brilliant time of 4 hours and 27 minutes.
Even more impressive is the incredible total he has raised — over £3,000 for a cause close to his heart.
A huge well done to James for this amazing achievement, both physically and for the impact he’s making through his fundraising.
