Virgin Games Staff Take on the London Marathon

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
On April 25, two members of staff from Virgin Games will run the Virgin
London Marathon.

29 year old NOC Manager, Jeff Dunbar and 32 year old Nico Van Der
Westhuizen, Head of Technical have been training hard, with Jeff aiming
to run the 26.2 miles in under three hours.

Jeff and Nico will be among 100 Virgin employees in a team led by Sir
Richard Branson aiming to raise as much money as possible to help
vulnerable young people in the UK fulfil their potential through Virgin's
non-profit foundation, Virgin Unite. All of the money raised will go
straight to fantastic charities working with the most vulnerable young
people in the UK such as Kids Company, The Foyer Federation, Rathbone and
Youth at Risk.

Richard is incentivising sponsorship - for every GBP 5 donated on his
Virgin Money Giving page, sponsors will be entered in a prize draw for a
trip to Necker Island.

Jeff Dunbar said: "This will be the first marathon for both of us
and we're looking forward to the challenge. We have both been receiving
generous support from our colleagues, family and friends which will be
gratefully received by the kids that will benefit."

Jeff and Nico are hoping to raise over GBP 3,000 for Kids Company which
provides practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable
inner-city children and young people. They are thankful for any donation,
large or small, they receive.
