Mammoth Marathon week three!

As the Marathon for a Drug-Free UK  enters its third week, news is reaching us from Moss Side and Salford in Manchester, on up through Bradford and into Yorkshire!

The marathon runners take 3 weeks or more out of their busy schedules to do this marathon, and whilst running up the length of the country, they give lectures to school children giving them the Truth About Drugs, as well as giving an education pack on Truth About Drugs to local police as you can see here in Moss Side, Manchester.  Radio interviews are also given like this one here in Salford, Manchester, as well as handing out Truth About Drugs Booklets in the busy shopping streets of each town that they visit.  The marathon also urge local businesses to sign the pledge showing their support. Here we have the owner of a boxing club showing his support by signing the pledge.

Here we have a shop owner in Bradford reading his copy of the Truth About Drugs booklet.

The Marathon reaches Kirklees in Yorkshire.

The Marathon for a Drug-Free UK runners are sponsored by G&G Vitamins who supplied the supplements the runners needed to supplement their diet to support the increased demands of their body on this mammoth marathon.

Handing out leaflets in Croydon…

Lots of Truth About Drugs booklets handed out that day!

G&G Vitamins congratulate the Truth About Drugs Marathon  organizers and runners on this fantastic idea for getting the truth out to our children, about drugs.  The pressures on children are enormous and the lectures in schools as well as the booklets give them a side to drugs and how they might affect their lives they might otherwise not see.  Very well done guys…look forward to the next update!

Marathon Runners Greeted by Local Celebrities….

On the right, you can see the route the marathon is taking from the bottom of the UK all the way up to Edinburgh in Scotland. That is over 600 miles! A fantastic undertaking indeed.

Marathon runners stop of in East Grinstead where they are greeted by local celebrities brother.

‘We were joined by Peter Andre’s brother, Danny Andre who runs New York Coffee Club He was only too happy to help us; some of his friends had died because of drugs. After the photo calls, he treated us all to a free coffee!’

Also joined by Adam of Big Brother fame, and local artist Susanne Lawrence both dedicated supporters of the marathon and the Drug-free UK Campaign.

Marathon runners were supplied with G&G’s Essential Executive daily packs as well as Cal-Mag Kits, Tissue Salts and other minerals.

The Truth About Drugs Marathon is sponsored by local and international vitamin company; G&G Vitamins of East Grinstead who have supplied the needed supplements for the runners to boost their diet during the marathon.

Pass it on!

Here we see the Truth About Drugs leaflets being distributed in Croydon by one of the runners. 

The point of the marathon is to bring awareness to the Truth about Drugs.  many children don’t actually know what drugs do, the effects they can have on their lives, and thing that it is cool to take drugs.  The truth about drugs booklets give information about drugs; truthful information.  

During the marathon, as well as giving out Truth About Drugs leaflets, there are lectures about drugs and their effects being delivered in schools along the route.  As well as giving the lectures, the children will be given booklets to take home with them. These lectures are very popular.

G&G Vitamins  are proud to sponsor the Truth About Drugs Marathon.
