ALT The image shows a promotional poster featuring a man in sunglasses and a "Project Rugby" T-shirt, standing next to bold text that reads "I’m running the London Marathon, 27 Apr 2025". The background includes a stylised London skyline with the London Eye. The top of the poster states "A fundraiser, 50 years in the making!" and the bottom explains that the man is running to raise money for two charities: The Change Foundation, supporting young lives through sport, and Blind in Business, helping visually impaired people succeed in their careers. Logos for both charities appear at the bottom.
