James completes London Marathon and raises over £400 for Spencer Superstars

We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievement of James Heppell, our Graphic Designer and Brand Manager at Spencer Academies Trust, who successfully completed the London Marathon to raise funds for our very own charity, Spencer Superstars, last weekend!

James took on the 26.2-mile challenge following months of dedication and training, crossing the finish line at 4 hours and 24 minutes!

Thanks to James’ efforts and the generosity of supporters, valuable funds have been raised to help continue the important work Spencer Superstars do in enriching the lives of our young people across the Trust.

Reflecting on the day, James said: "It was an amazing experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who gets the chance! The day was incredibly hot, so I’m just proud to have finished. Huge thanks to everyone who donated and supported me along the way."

We are incredibly proud of James and grateful for his commitment, resilience, and passion. Well done, James—you truly are a Spencer Superstar!

There’s still time to sponsor James and help him reach his £500 target by donating here.
