Duncan & Toplis Going the Extra Mile for Charity

More than 700 people have signed up to take part in the Loughborough Half Marathon on Sunday 3rd April.

Gina King, Head of Fundraising at LWA, a domestic abuse charity based in Loughborough, said: “It’s brilliant that more than 700 people have entered the event. For the team relay challenge, we’ve 18 relay teams taking part, which is an event record, including two teams from Leicester Championship Wrestling!

“Duncan & Toplis’ sponsorship has been a massive help with funding the event and we really appreciate it.”

Martin Shannon, Director at Duncan & Toplis’ Loughborough office, said: “We’re really looking forward to it; it’s a fantastic event that raises money for LWA, an amazing local charity and a long-standing client of ours.

“I’m taking part along with my Loughborough colleagues Nicola Bowley, Anna Morgan, William Shing and Shane Welstead, and lots of our staff are coming along to cheer everyone on.”

The five Loughborough colleagues will be joined by staff from other Duncan & Toplis offices: Marketing Assistant Emily Baker-Gaunt (Lincoln office), Director Nick Smith (Melton Mowbray and Spalding offices), Director Antony Voakes (Lincoln office), and Peter Wass (Lincoln office).
