First leg of epic challenge for The Light Fund completed by Jason Easy, Ben Lowe and Katie Ball.

The trio of industry executives running six marathons in six days in aid of The Light Fund have completed the first leg of their challenge.

BBC Worldwide’s Jason Easy and Katie Ball, and Ben Lowe from Roy Lowe & Sons ran from Birmingham (Bordesley) to Leamington Spa (Sydenham) yesterday (April 18).

You can check out a video of their first day highlights below (including some rather ‘tuneful’ singing):

They have so far raised over £8,700 – and you can check out their fundraising page by clicking on this link.
