London Marathon 2011: congratulations to the Brain and Spine team!
20 April 2011
Congratulations and a big thank you to the 66-strong London Marathon team who ran for the Brain and Spine Foundation on Sunday.
As well as achieving a mammoth physical feat after months of gruelling training, the team look set to raise a total of £100,000 for the Foundation - a huge contribution which will help fund core services such as our nurse-led Helpline.
After completing the course, runners were greeted at a Post Race Party by Team Captain Michael Watson, the former boxer who was seriously brain injured following a fight with Chris Eubank in 1991. Watson was operated on by Brain and Spine Foundation founder, neurosurgeon Peter Hamlyn, and went on to walk the Marathon route - which took six days to complete - in 2003.
