Ben's London Marathon

We are really proud that our head of house Ben is going to run the London Marathon this year. See a message from him about how you can support him and why he is doing it below:

"Hello and thank you for your time and interest. I will participate in the Virgin Money London Marathon this year and raise money for the charity "The Outward Bound Trust". The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity dedicated to unlocking the potential in disadvantaged young people through discovery and adventure in the wild.
I was inspired to take on this challenge about a year ago watching the 2013 London Marathon on TV. I thought running for a charity was generally a good idea and so I decided to raise money and awareness for The Outward Bound Trust. I would consider myself very lucky to have enjoyed great education throughout my life and I want to help others that are not so lucky get the same opportunities.
I will aim to run the 42,195 km in under 4 hours at an average speed of circa 5:30 minutes per km." 

    I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
