Four of our 2023 London Marathon runners received a big boost a few days before the event when they received a complimentary oxygen session at our Letchworth HQ.
Jason Akenbrook, Tony Baum, Glen Dobson and daughter Jess, breathed in pure oxygen for an hour, with Jess in particular feeling a big benefit, knocking 36 minutes off her personal best time and completing the 26.2 mile course in 5 hours and 5 minutes!
“I’m sure the oxygen session we were treated to before the race helped. Big thanks to CEO Mark Boscher, Centre Manager Meire Andrade, Operator Andy Coulthard and his number 2, Emmanuel Parkash for all their support and expertise. You never know we might be back to do it again soon!”
Meanwhile Jess’s Uncle, David Lewis, has now raced to 915 marathons in total, adding another twenty one since this year’s London Marathon.
It’s safe to say David knows a thing or two about running 26.2 miles. Watch this space for a few of his tips to help us mere mortals get over the finishing line!
If you would like to run and raise money for the Centre, there are several places available to take part in the 2024 London Marathon, which is on Sunday April 21. Please contact Paul Bishop on 07973 237162.
