Ben Truslove, Joint Managing Director at John Truslove Chartered Surveyors & Valuers said:

James Godsall, Managing Director at Jukes Insurance Brokers said:
“What an emotional day! From high fives with a couple of Lionesses and countless kids to amazing support and atmosphere all the way around, it was like nothing I have ever experienced.”
Ben and James said: “We are both proud to have made it across the finish line, but we are even more proud of the fact that we completed the marathon for such a great cause.”
