This weekend, our Operations Director Donald Ward completed the London Marathon and we couldn't be more proud of him 🙌.

With new trainers, very painful feet and a less than optimal pre-training schedule, Donald managed to enjoy the day. Powered by heavy house tunes, he completed the race in an impressive 4 hours 50 mins ⏱️

Raising funds for his much missed Dad, Michael Ward, and everyone affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Donald had an ambitious target of £20,000 for the MND Association. He's thrilled to share that he has smashed this, thanks to the kindness and generosity of family, friends, customers, suppliers and everyone who has donated so far - either through his page or personally 🙏

There's a couple of other events taking place that will top up the total too and if you would like support the cause, there's still time here: https://2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/donald-ward

Every pound donated will:
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Help families receive the support they need
💷 Fund specialist care and mobility equipment
🛟 Drive life-saving MND research forward

💚 Thank you so, so much everyone and well done Donald 🏅
