Scott Cook from Alchemy Recruitment ran the London Marathon this year of behalf of Meningitis Now.
With donations from clients and ex job seekers he was able to raise a total of £2,925.25 for the charity, including well over £300 raised by the Alchemy girls who organised a prize raffle and cake bake three weeks before the big day.
“The race itself I ran in a slow but respectable 5 hours 8 minutes,” said Scott. “I had only got to 18 miles in training and had several niggles along the way putting my schedule back – so on the day, it was about getting around the 26.2 miles as opposed to worrying about the time. I absolutely loved the whole experience, the crowd really do get you round and seeing my friends and family at mile 14 and 21 was amazing and pushed me on.”
