Ruth's Heathrow Midnight Marathon Page

On the 1st October I am taking part in a marathon relay with some colleagues, running down the runway at Heathrow Airport to raise money for the Heathrow Community Trust (HCT).

HCT is an independent grant making trust providing much needd funding to communities around Heathrow Airport. Founded in 1996, in the last three eyars HCT has awarded over £1.5 million in grants to community groups. One example of a project that has been funded by HCT is the East to West Trust which has supportefd young people admitted to A&E departments due to self-harm or attempted suicide. This grant allowed the Trust to have volunteers working three nights a week supporting 154 young people aged 10-25 over two years.
