    Honda Taunton Employee To Embark On 27 Day Half Marathon Challenge For Charity

    Thomas Lewis from Honda Taunton is running 27 half Marathons in aid of CLIC Sargent, a charity that provides cancer support for the young. Read his story here...

One of our employee’s Thomas Lewis from Honda Taunton is running 27 half marathons in aid of CLIC Sargent, a charity that provides cancer support for the young. His challenge is to run 27 half marathons in 27 days, with his first day starting on the 3rd of October. Once completed, he will have run an impressive combined total of 354 miles.

Thomas’s aim is to raise as much money as possible for CLIC Sargent. This charity is very close to home for him and his family, as they helped them when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 6. Now he wants to repay the favour and embark on this difficult challenge and raise lots of money for the charity.

He came up with this fundraising idea, taking inspiration from the comedian Eddie Izzard who ran 27 full marathons in 27 days earlier this year. The comedian impressed the nation and managed to raise more than £1m for Sport Relief.

We wish Thomas the best of luck as he starts his challenge on the 3rd of October. Any donations are welcome, and JustGiving sends your donations straight to the CLIC Sargent and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you’re a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.

Thomas has said “This will be a huge challenge for me and all your support and any donation you wish to make are greatly appreciated”.

So far he has raised £316.00 with a goal set of £1000, so if you’d like to help him reach his goal you can do so by visiting his JustGiving page.

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

    Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
