Rupert Darch a customer of the Hungerford Arcade is running the London Marathon on Sunday 3rd October to raise money for the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity. This will be his first ever Marathon, he started training in January of this year. This charity was chosen by Rupert because they have done some fantastic work with his daughter who is affected by dyslexia.
Dyslexia affects one in 10 people and is the most common learning disability in the UK.
Our stallholder Ian Spuffard is also running this, it will be his 10th Marathon. He is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. This charity means a lot to Ian as his father is having treatment for prostate cancer and the support they are giving them both is amazing.
Ian will also be holding a Macmillan Cancer Support charity auction at the Hungerford Town Hall in the autumn, more details to be announced once the date has been confirmed.
All of the staff and stallholders here at the Hungerford Arcade wish them both good luck.
