One Kind Act are proud present another new runner, Elliott Lyons, for our forthcoming event – LONDON LANDMARKS HALF MARATHON (LLHM 2021) - to be held on Sunday 1 August 2021. He will also be running in THE ROYAL PARKS HALF MARATHON being held in October 2021.
The LLHM usually celebrates London’s grand iconic landmarks, its quirky and hidden history and gems. However, following the global Covid-19 pandemic, LLHM 2021 will be re-themed to celebrate the grand, quirky and hidden landmark moments of 2020, shining a light on how we have come together as a nation during this unprecedented time.
One Kind Act are grateful to Elliott to have signed up to these two Marathon events to raise funds which can be used to help the destitute here in the UK and all around the world.
Here is what Elliott Lyons has to say..........
'It’s been a crazy 15 months for everyone, and I consider myself one of the lucky ones! I am still in employment, I am fortunate not to have suffered from COVID issues, my family are happy and healthy. But this isn’t the case for many others both here in the UK and overseas.
So I wanted to pay it forward and support where I can. Therefore, I am running two half marathons (London Landmarks and Royal Parks) between now and the end of the year to raise money for One Kind Act. A fantastic charity that raises money to support those smaller charitable organisations that are often overlooked.
One Kind Act became even closer to my heart when I lost my oldest and best friend to COVID related illness earlier this year. Aleem was an avid supporter and contributor to One Kind Act and, more than anything, I wanted to do these half marathons in his memory and support the charity that was so close to his heart.
So I am reaching out to everyone to support by sponsoring me and helping me raise a significant amount that can support others who are less fortunate but also in memory of my friend, Aleem.
Please support me by clicking the link below and donating what you can - every penny counts, and I can assure you your money will be put to good use.
Thank you!'
This charity run is a closed road, central London run and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and City of Westminster. Well-thought out, flexible and responsive measures will be in place to ensure that LLHM 2021 will be a Covid-secure event, where the safety of the LLHM community comes first.
