About BASICS Devon and Virtual TCS London Marathon
BASICS Devon is inviting its supporters across the UK – and the world – to be a part of the Virtual TCS London Marathon by running to raise funds in its name, to help save lives.
BASICS Devon is a team of volunteer doctors. BASICS Devon aims to provide pre-hospital emergency medical care for the sick and injured, in Devon and surrounding counties, offering additional specialist skills, drugs and equipment to treat patients and relieve suffering in the community. The team works closely with the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT), providing clinical advice and support. A number of the team are trained as Major Incident Medical Advisors to support the triage and treatment of casualties in the event of a major incident. It is an entirely voluntary service with the doctors responding 24hrs a day, often first on the scene be it at the roadside, in a field, on a farm or at a home emergency.
It’s your chance to be part of the world’s biggest marathon your way. You’ll have from 00:00 to 23:59:59 on Marathon Day, Sunday 2nd October 2022, to complete your 26.2 miles, so you can do it in stages, with friends, on your own, from home, or wherever you are. The possibilities are endless!
Why do they need an EOI form?
BASICS Devon has a limited number of places available, just 2 available in the virtual event and is encouraging anyone who was either unsuccessful in the ballot, or would just like to take part in the event to contact them for a chance of taking part. Places are on a first come first served basis.
If you are successful in gaining a place, there is a registration fee of £25 which includes a running vest, official running number, fundraising pack with top tips and digital support on the day and during training, they ask that you raise a minimum sponsorship of £200, which BASICS Devon will help you to achieve.
They look forward to recieving your forms!
