Press Release
Nearly £3,500 raised for Liberty's new home by marathon runners
Two people have gone the extra mile to help us raise funds for a much-needed new office. Kate Watkin and Lee Rodwell ran 26.2 miles around the streets of London on Sunday 25 April and raised £3,367 for the Civil Liberties Trust.
Kate, who comes from a whole family of committed Liberty supporters, said she had taken up the challenge because she passionately believes in Liberty’s work.
Lee is Liberty’s Director of Development, and he is now fundraising for Liberty in his spare time as well as in his day job. He said: “I’m incredibly proud to work for Liberty – it’s a privilege working alongside such talented and committed colleagues and that makes asking my friends and family to sponsor me very easy indeed. Although it’s been tough to fit my training in at the weekends and evenings, it’s a small sacrifice at such an important moment both for the organisation and for rights and freedoms in the UK.”
Lee also ran the Brighton marathon on Sunday 18 April.
