The TCS London Marathon is only a month away, and we still need more volunteers to join us on the streets of London to cheer on our incredible Team BHF runners. Cheering makes a huge difference on the day. When runners see BHF supporters along the route, it gives them the boost they need to keep going - especially in the later miles. You don't need any experience - just enthusiasm, and a willingness to make some noise and encourage our runners along. This is a one-off opportunity so if you have a few hours to spare and want to be inspired it is the perfect way to use them. Why volunteer at a cheer point?
