LandAid runners beat the weather to raise over £52,000

The industry has helped to raise more than £52,000 for LandAid via its annual charity run in London’s Regent’s Park.

The torrential rain didn’t dampen the spirits and determination of the 864 property professionals taking part in the 5k and 10k runs to support LandAid’s mission to end youth homelessness.

Emma Laverty of Oxford Economics and Henry Chamberlayne of Allsop were fastest in the 10k race, while Damini Lad of NatWest and Phil Gibb of Marchmont Investment Management were quickest in the 5k race.

The event’s headline sponsor was Allsop, alongside Gerald Eve as a trophy sponsor.

Paul Morrish, chief executive of LandAid, said: “Youth homelessness is a growing problem. We need to provide long-term, safe, secure and affordable accommodation for the thousands of young people across the country who need it. LandAid remains ever committed to our mission to end youth homelessness, but it is only by working with the property and built environment industry that we can achieve this. So, thank you to all who took part – together we can end youth homelessness.”
