Marshall tops up money raised by marathon runners

Sir Michael Marshall, Chairman of Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Ltd presented four Marshall employees with cheques to top up the funds they had raised through running in the London Marathon.

Pictured with Sir Michael Marshall, from left to right, are runners: Liam Parkin, Graham Moore, Martin Rowe and Adam Fyfe.

The four runners between them were raising funds for:

  • Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People
  • Sheffield Children’s Hospital
  • The Bobby Moore Fund


This was Graham Moore’s sixteenth consecutive Marathon, running for the Bobby Moore Cancer Fund and during this period he has raised over £20,000.  He completed this year’s run in a fast 3 hours, 10 minutes and 10 seconds.

Sir Michael Marshall said: “I am delighted to be able to top up the funds raised by our very fit runners who took part in the London Marathon, in order to encourage more of our employees to take part next year!  We are enormously proud, as a business, of our many employees who do so very many incredible things in the local community, which always includes taking part in the London Marathon."
