Marathon Fundraising Effort for 'The Unknown Warrior'

Submitted by admin on 2 April, 2015 - 13:38

Building the new national memorial engine from scratch can easily be described as hard as running a marathon but that's what Andrew Laws, Marketing & Publicity Director for The LMS-Patriot Project is attempting to do. It will be Andrew's first marathon, and Hamburg is a great flat course ideal for his first run over 26.2 miles. Andrew had been previously working in Hamburg so chose the Hamburg Marathon as he had trained on part of the city centre course.

Please support his efforts and help raise funds to finish the new Royal British Legion Endorsed national memorial engine 'The Unknown Warrior' for 2018 - to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Armistice.
