YMCA England: Helping young people build a future

Join Team YMCA and help young people build a better future

The London Marathon is an amazing event raising millions every year to make a difference to the lives of others.

We are currently recruiting our team for 2012 and are looking for enthusiastic people who can commit to raising a minimum sponsorship of £1,700 as well as the dedication to undergo the training required to run a marathon. If this sounds like you, get in touch now!

As well as taking on the challenge of a lifetime, your support will help us to:

• Empower homeless young people to rebuild their lives
• Get unemployed young people into education, training and employment
• Support disadvantaged children and families.

What to expect from us

We know that training and running the marathon is a big challenge to undertake so we'll be with you every step of the way.

As part of Team YMCA you will receive:

• A fundraising and training pack full of tips and advice
• A high-quality YMCA running vest
• Regular phone calls and newsletters with personalised support
• Support on the day from our dedicated cheering points
• A post-race reception where you can enjoy a well-deserved massage and refreshments.

"The support I received from YMCA England was excellent and far more personalised than other charities I have run for". Sarah Carrington, YMCA England London Marathon runner
