Local Director & Financial Adviser, Emily Newman from JNFP, is swapping her desk in Droitwich for the streets of London in April when she takes on the epic challenge of the annual London Marathon.
Her chosen charity, Meningitis Now, is in its 40th year of fighting the devastation caused by meningitis. The charity is very close to Emily’s heart, having contracted meningitis as a teenager, Emily knows only too well the effects it can have on someone, especially a young person. She says, “This challenge is about far more than the miles, and I’m incredibly proud to be raising funds and awareness for such an important cause”.
Emily has been on her running journey since last summer and took part in her first long race, Worcester City Runs half-marathon, in September 2025, where she gained a very respectable time. This has given her the confidence needed to up her training plan and push forward to complete the London marathon.
The London Marathon 2026 will take over the streets of London on April 26th and Emily’s team at JNFP and family, will be cheering her on.
