Rail charity joins other good causes in marathon fundraising effort

Railway Children is among hundreds of UK charities facing a huge fundraising deficit now that so many events have been cancelled due to coronavirus. The biggest one-day fundraising event in the world, the London Marathon, is just one of the casualties and has now been postponed leaving a multi-million pound shortfall for many charities. So organisers have launched a new event in a bid to help good causes raise funds that are more urgent than ever in these difficult times.
