Christopher Cox – London Marathon
I have seen how important it is to have support in times of need, and the incredible role the Samaritan’s play.
I ran my first Half Marathon last April which was out of my comfort zone, and now I want to go a step further with a big fundraising target.
I lost a friend with depression which opened my awareness to Mental Health and wanting to help wherever I can.
Please support me in my journey by helping with my fundraising.

CALA NHC – Running for Samaritans
The work Samaritans do is more crucial at the moment whilst we are in ‘Lockdown 3.0’. Many people are feeling isolated this year due to social distancing and travel restrictions. They may have lost a loved one to coronavirus or feel anxious about the current circumstances. Samaritans provide a 24-hour helpline, 365 days a year, to lend an ear to those who feel they have nowhere else to turn. To visit their donation page click here.
Scott Dunbar – London Marathon April 2020
In the summer of last year one of my good friends Michael aged 37, passed away after being diagnosed with B
owel Cancer less than a year before which was absolutely devastating, leaving behind his wife Hannah and his 3-year-old son Arthur.
Michael was a great bloke who lived life to the full, loved keeping fit and had a passion for running. On several occasions, he applied for the London Marathon but was never successful.
In his memory and to raise awareness and money for this great cause, I decided to apply for the London Marathon along with 4 other good friends and his wife Hannah.
Before applying, I can’t remember the last time I have ran more than 5k, so the thought of 26.2 miles was a daunting challenge. Training hasn’t exactly gone to plan as I got a stress fracture on my foot before Christmas. With only 12 weeks I am back training but now need to start getting some miles under my belt.
Any help to achieve our combined team target of 15k, and words of encouragement when you see me would be greatly appreciated.
Christmas Jumper Day for Save the Children
Millions of people. Friday 13 December 2019. The greatest day of the whole entire year.

TML Golf Day 2019
5 years ago we lost a key member of our team here at Thames Materials to cancer and decided to start the Sheila Melvin memorial golf day in her memory and choose one new charity each year alongside the Lynda Jackson centre that helped Sheila and family greatly in her time of need.
In the 4 years we have raised upwards of £200k which has been amazing and thanks to all who have helped us get there.
