ABTA LifeLine Director Trudie Clements is running her first London Marathon on 27 April to raise vital funds for travel industry colleagues facing hardship.
With a fundraising goal of £3,000, Trudie has been training through the winter and is calling on the travel community to do what it can to support her efforts, through donations or cheering from the sidelines on the day to help her get round the 26.2-mile route.
Donations can be made to Trudie’s JustGiving page, which sends funds directly to the charity.
“The preparation so far has been tough, but I see first-hand the difference LifeLine’s support makes to people in our industry who have fallen on hard times, which is really helping me push through these last few weeks of training to make it to the starting line,” said Trudie.
“I’m delighted to have reached half of my fundraising goal to date and would be so grateful to anyone who is able to make a donation to help support colleagues in our industry who are struggling.”
Alongside Trudie’s marathon effort, ABTA LifeLine is holding two fundraising events before the summer.
