Groveley Precision Engineering: Stuart raised nearly £3k in the London Marathon


[Online PR for Groveley Precision Engineering]

Groveley’s operations manager Stuart Leaper – along with his wife Nicky – raised almost £2,900 when they ran the London Marathon on Sunday – and it’s all going to benefit Poole Hospital Charity.

Stuart and Nicky beat their target of £1,500 and both ran the course in a very respectable 5 hrs 6 minutes, crossing the finishing line together.

They wanted to help the hospital because 16 years ago Stuart had life-changing surgery at the hospital for his hearing. Both their children were born there, too.

Organisers described the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon as “the greatest ever” in the history of the race – it smashed records across the board and saw more people than ever before make the 26-mile journey from Greenwich to Westminster. There were 39,487 finishers.

It’s not too late to contribute to a great cause… Stuart and Nicky have a JustGiving page where you can easily donate online: Click here!
