Supporting statements
Please provide as much detail as possible to the following questions, going on to an additional page if necessary. We have a huge demand for a limited number of marathon places. Each place costs the charity a lot of money, so it is very important that you plan how you might reach and hopefully exceed your target of £2,000. Places are awarded to the strongest applications.
