From Finance to the Finish Line, Sophie Mellor gets Ready for the 2025 London Marathon

Join us in supporting Sophie Mellor, CEL Finance Assistant as she gears up for a big challenge. Sophie will be putting down the numbers and lacing up her running shoes for a truly inspiring challenge on Sunday 27th April 2025, as she will be participating in the 2025 London Marathon - a legendary event that attracts tens of thousands of runners from across the globe each year.

The London Marathon is one of the most prestigious races in the world, with more than 56,000 runners expected to take part this year, and Sophie will be one of these.

The event has a rich history of remarkable achievements, including 45 Guinness World Records broken, with the fastest men’s marathon time of 2:01:25, while Peres Jepchirchir set a new women’s world record with an amazing time of 2:16:16.

Can Sophie make that the Guinness World Record in the 2025 race?

Sophie is taking on the 26.2 mile challenge across London to raise money for Children With Cancer UK, a charity dedicated to funding research and supporting families affected by childhood cancer. Their mission is to save young lives and ensure families can stay together during the toughest times. By investing in ground breaking research and providing practical support, they bring hope to many children battling cancer.

Along with her fellow runners forthe charity, Sophie has set an ambitious goal to raise £2,000 to contribute to this incredible charity and we’d love to support her in reaching that target. Every donation, no matter the size, can make a real impact.

As Sophie takes on this incredible challenge, let’s all get behind her and show our support. Whether it’s through donations or words of encouragement, every bit of support counts.
