The Placement Group are very proud to have two of our employee’s taking part in the 2013 Virgin London Marathon next month!

Recruitment consultant Lauren Bradshaw and Contracts coordinator Michael Crossley will take their places alongside 30,000+ runners on 21th April 2013, and begin their gruelling 26.2 mile race across London.

Lauren, who recruits for our Dietetics and Podiatry divisions, will be running for Leukaemia Care, a charity which is very close to her and her family. Leukaemia Care provides vital care and support to all those who' lives have been affected by Leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and the allied blood disorders.

Lauren has smashed her target of £2,000 having already raised £2,126.69 for the charity, she has organised a number of fundraising events including a quiz night, bake sale and taken part in mini marathons as part of her training regime. Although Lauren is already above target, with the support of many friends, family and of course her colleagues, her total continues to grow day by day!

Michael Crossley who is a key member of our contracts division, won his place in the ballot, however he thought this the perfect opportunity to fundraise for charity. As a new father, Michael has decided to run in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. All money raised will help GOSHCC to provide the best facilities and equipment, research and develop new treatments, and support their remarkable patients and their families.

The Placement Group are keen to show our support and will be sponsoring both Lauren and Michael £250 each for their chosen charities.

We will all be cheering for you, best of luck Mike and Lauren!
