Marathon Mania
Running a marathon is a great way of raising money for charity. Here at Watford Mencap we would love to have more people getting marathon places and supporting the work we do with people with a learning disability.
We do not have any marathon places so if you do apply in the ballot for the London Marathon or obtain a place for any of the other marathons around the country, please sponsor Watford Mencap.
This year so far we have 2 people who are doing just that...
