A WOKINGHAM charity is looking for runners to take part in the virtual London Marathon.
Me2 Club, which supports children with additional needs from across Wokingham and Reading to access clubs and activities, has 10 charity spaces available.
The virtual event will take place on Sunday, October 2, the same day as the road race takes place in the capital.
Participants will have 24 hours to complete 26.2 miles and all finishers will receive the same London Marathon medal and t-shirt as participants in the road race.
Eleanor Towsey, senior solicitor and family mediator at KJ Smith Solicitors took part in last year’s virtual event for Me2 Club.
“I never felt alone despite it being a virtual event,” Ms Towsey said.
“The experience was inspirational, life-changing, emotional and very tough for the last few miles, but the brilliant work of the Me2 Club propelled me to the finish line.”
Last year’s virtual and in-person London Marathon runners raised £9,931, which supported 20 children join in with weekly mainstream leisure activities.
