We have seven runners in the Gene Team for this year’s London Marathon. We want to double that number so if you've got your own place, come and join us! We'll help you fundraise, plan your training and invite you, your friends and family to our fantastic post race party.
You don't have to raise a specific amount – every penny helps.
