Students run the Berlin Marathon for charity

Graduate students run Berlin Marathon for charity

On Sunday 25 September, several members of the SBR -- Frank Scheibe, Nic Ross, Paul McFadden and David Conlon -- will undertake the gruelling 42.2 km Berlin Marathon, accompanied by their entourage of supporters -- Ros Crone, Gemma Thomas and Liisa van Vliet. To give some purpose to their insanity, they have decided to use this opportunity to raise money for Diabetes UK (www.diabetes.org.uk, www.justgiving.com/berlin).

With 40,000 runners and over a million spectators, the Berlin Marathon is on of the largest events of its kind. The students are joined by members of the MCR of Imperial College, London.
