Five dedicated runners are gearing up to take on the TCS London Marathon on Sunday 26 April, in support of the Electrical Industries Charity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each runner is training hard for the challenge ahead while raising vital funds that will be reinvested directly into the electrical and energy industry. Donations will help support a wide range of essential services, including mental health support and awareness, financial assistance, homelessness support, legal advice, and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n
