    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.

    We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent 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, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
