During the 2nd week of March Sam Gelder achieved the incredible feat of completing ‘7 Marathons in 7 Days’. The aim was to raise £12,000 for charities Cancer Research and The Gelder Charitable Trust.
Just Giving pages were set-up and people were extremely generous with their donations with £49,475.20 raised in total, £9,687 for Cancer Research UK and £39,678.20 for ‘The Gelder Charitable Trust’.
The Gelder Charitable Trust was set-up to provide support, financial or otherwise for construction workers and their families when they become incapacitated through illness or accident with three people/families already having received support.
Well done Sam. Great effort.
