Marathon effort from terrific ten

4 Oct, 2022

l-r Stuart Downie, Michelle Roberts, Isabella Santa, Raymond Mouzon and Neil Dexter were part of a team of ten supporters who ran London Marathon in aid of maritime welfare charity Sailors’ Society.

This Sunday (October 2) saw 10 dedicated Sailors’ Society supporters take on one of the world’s biggest marathons in aid of seafarers and their families in need.

The group, who have already raised more than £16,000 towards Sailors’ Society’s vital work, joined thousands of runners in the 2022 TCS London Marathon on the 26-mile route through the UK’s historic capital.

The maritime welfare charity’s team included industry figures MarineTraffic’s Demitris Memos, Navis Consulting’s Neil Dexter and Britannia’s Geovenn Lim.

Sara Baade, Sailors’ Society’s CEO, said: “We are so grateful to our terrific Team Sailors’ Society runners for their incredible fundraising and training efforts in support of our global work helping seafarers and their families. We are simply in awe of their dedication, energy and compassion and send huge congratulations to them all on their brilliant achievement.”

The London Marathon route follows the banks of the River Thames and takes in several maritime sites, including Greenwich, the Cutty Sark and West India Quay, as well as passing close to where Sailors’ Society’s first chapel for seafarers was moored more than 200 years ago.

If you feel inspired by Sailors’ Society’s 2022 marathon runners, the charity has guaranteed places available for next year’s event.
