After an absence of more than 2 years the London Marathon is back and so is Tembe Managing Director Guy Malam. This year Guy returns to London and the 26.2 mile challenge with an admission:
With nowhere near enough training this summer, I promise this one is going to hurt!”
Headlined by Guys energy sapping efforts, Tembe’s target is to raise £10,000 for Children with Cancer UK. This huge donation will come from sponsorship, proceeds from product promotions and a shaved head! Guy’s amazing young daughter Annabel has heroically contributed £1,120, after opting to shave her head in support of the charity.

Their vision is a world where every child diagnosed with cancer gets to ring their end of cancer treatment bell.
About the London Marathon
The London Marathon was first held on 29 March 1981 and the millionth finisher in the history of the event crossed the line in 2016. It’s the world’s largest annual one-day fundraising event. In 2019 the Virgin Money London Marathon raised £66.4 million for charity, setting a new Guinness World Record for an annual one-day charity fundraising event for a 13th successive year. This brought the total raised for charity since 1981 to more than £1 billion.
