Andy and Laura Collins will be supporting and raising money for the NSPCC, working to protect children and prevent child abuse.

Team Collins will be running the streets of London in the iconic London Marathon taking place on Sunday 23rd April 2024.

Laura’s words :

As someone who works as a Safeguarding Lead in a school, I fully understand, appreciate, and commend the most important work that the NSPCC does to protect children from all forms of abuse. The NSPCC is there for advice, support, guidance and most importantly there for the children – that is priceless! Too many children, an increasing number of children, are subject to abuse and that is not right. Children need to be protected from abuse and maltreatment and we have to ensure that no one allows them to come to harm for their health or development, either physically, emotionally and socially. Children should be able to grow up in an environment where they have safe and effective care and that everyone wants the best for the child. This is what the NSPCC does and this is WHY I am running the London Marathon for them – please show your support as without the NSPCC so many more children would be suffering.

Andy’s words:

From personally working in schools & colleges to helping out with football coaching, I understand and fully respect what the NSPCC is all about. It’s a privilege to be running the iconic London Marathon in support of the NSPCC and my wife Laura who works tirelessly to protect children and promote everything that the NSPCC does. Thank you so much to all our family, friends and colleagues who are supporting us on this journey.
