At our meeting on Thursday 26th June, Jessica and Mark (Jack’s sister and brother-in law) came to tell us all about the London Marathon that they participated in! It was an extremely hot day, so the weather affected the finish times with Jessica finishing in a respectable 4hrs 56 minutes. 

There were thousands of spectators  along the route with special support from Headway U.K. and Jessica’s family! Jessica and Mark raised over £2000 with Team Headway in total raising £99,186.00!

They also earned a place in the Guinness World records with ‘The largest number of finishers in a marathon’ – 56, 540 out of 57, 443 starters in London on the 27th April 2025!

Tonight, along with Jessica and Mark’s presentation, we also had a games evening! 

Jessica and Mark’s sons were very keen to play the floor Jenga and snakes and ladders with everyone else preferring to sit at the tables ! 

We enjoyed Dominoes, Dobble, Uno and table Jenga 🙂
