ACO London Marathon Fundraiser 2014
Carole completed the marathon in 3hrs 47mins - it was hot (she has sunburnt arms) and running in the ACO top wasn't too comfortable either - a great effort by a remarkable lady!
Our teams of enthusiastic fundraisers are still working hard and will be returning their forms and sponsorship money to our coaches in the next week or two - initial signs are that Carole has helped us raise a fantastic four figure sum for the club.
The AC Oxgangs FC Committee we'd like to thank Carole for her efforts and this sentiment is no doubt echoed by the many players who will benefit from this terrific gesture.
More information on the event can be found at
