A Surveyor from the Birmingham office of global real estate
services firm, DTZ will be swapping his laptop for trainers next
month as he joins over 30,000 other people to compete in the 2011
Virgin London Marathon.
James Millard from Sutton Coldfield will be running the marathon
on 17 April and is aiming to raise £1,600 for housing and
homelessness charity, Shelter. He is one of nine DTZ staff taking
part in the race.
James, who is part of DTZ's Corporate Real Estate Management
team, commented: "What started off as a spur of the moment decision
to enter has suddenly become very daunting. With less than a month
to go the training sessions are getting longer but hopefully all of
the hard work will pay off on the day.
He added: "I'd like to thank everyone that has supported me so
far and urge those who haven't done so already to donate to a great
cause."
