 London Marathon weekend sees the Club full of runners taking on the challenge of the marathon.

This year Victory Services Club member Paul French and his two grandsons, James Rann and Tom Rann, who have been long term supporters of ABF The Solders’ Chairty, took on the 2010 Virgin London Marathon to raise fund for soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of need.

This is known to be the first time that a granddad has run the London Marathon with grandsons and are pictured at the ABF Soldiers Charity reception in Wellington Barracks. They raised an incredible £2872 in fundraising but would love to reach their target of £3K. If members would like to make a donation, they can do so by calling 0845-037-7966 or send a cheque payable to ‘ABF The Soldiers’ Charity’ and send it to
