Charity Corner

David Mann, Damian Wild, Editor of Estates Gazette, and Paul Morrish, CEO of LandAid, along with a few members of their respective teams, limber up in Hyde Park. This ‘fit’ gathering helped launch David’s fundraising campaign as he prepares for the Paris Marathon on 8 April. David is running in aid of LandAid, which support projects that provide life-changing accommodation for young people facing homelessness. David Mann added:

Ahead of my 50th birthday this June, my partner Glen recently asked me what I wanted to do. “Run a Marathon,” I replied, not entirely the response he was expecting. I have done a few half marathons circa 25 years ago and have taken part in the JLL Property Triathlon and LandAid 10k in recent years but never do enough training. Whatever ‘enough’ is? LandAid’s invitation to complete one of my bucket list aspirations on their behalf was too good an opportunity to miss.
