Bournemouth Focus: Can You Help Teach First End Inequality In Education?

Oxfordshire Focus: Piers Clayden Raises Money For Scope At The London Marathon

Clayden Law is based in Oxford's Prama House and works with growing technology companies to help them structure clear and robust commercial arrangements with their customers and vendors. Director, Piers Clayden, has set himself a monumental challenge this year. With some real trepidation, he is planning to run the London Marathon on 13th April.

Piers comments: "Whilst a very real personal challenge for me, I have chosen to run for Scope, which is a charity that provides advice and support for disabled people in the UK, including those suffering from cerebral palsy - which is something my god-daughter faces up to every day with great bravery and stoicism."

"So far I am 10 weeks into my 16 week training program - training during one of the windiest, wettest periods on record, which has included most recently having to wade through knee-high freezing flood water down on the banks of the Thames! I am targeting a sub-4 hour time (which will be about double Mo Farrah's estimated time of approximately 2 hours!)

I'm also grateful for the shower facility at Prama House, which has helped me to schedule my training and work commitments successfully."


Piers is looking to raise money for Scope and if you would like to sponsor him, he would be absolutely delighted and incredibly grateful. He has set up a donations website at: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/PiersClayden.
