Iglu.com is proud of two members of staff – Joe Bowler and Francesco Fuca – who are preparing to run the TCS London Marathon on 27 April in aid of Disability Snowsport UK (DSUK).
DSUK is the UK’s leading adaptive snowsport charity and helps disabled children and adults to be more active, make friends and have fun by taking part in snowsport.
Joe Bowler
Joe is Iglu Ski’s Senior Marketing Executive and has been running for about two years. He signed up for this marathon because he thinks it’s a great way to contribute to a good cause while pushing himself. He says the training has been going well, although there have been some challenging days.
Joe, who is able bodied but has tried sit-sking in a taster session with DSUK, said: “Skiing is so much fun, and adaptive equipment allows everyone to experience the mountains. DSUK does such an amazing job in making snowports more accessible for everyone. As a sport, it’s such a great leveller.”
He continues: “Everyone has the right to access the unique physical, mental and social benefits of snowsport, regardless of disability, injury, or experience. I feel proud to be running the marathon for Disability Snowsport UK and hope my fundraising efforts can help to empower more children and adults with disabilities to give adaptive skiing or snowboarding a go.”
Francesco Fuca
Francesco is Iglu Cruise’s SEO Executive and says he doesn’t remember a day going past in the last 10 years when he hasn’t run. Running the marathon has always been a dream and doing it this year for a good cause, was the icing on the cake. He’s looking forward to crossing the finishing line and embracing his son Gabriele. Given that he is Italian, it’s no real surprise that a pizza will be waiting for him at the finishing line, perhaps with a decent pint of beer.
He said: “The marathon is the ultimate test of endurance, determination, and passion – a milestone in every runner’s journey. After years of running and countless miles, 2025 is my year to take on one of the legendary World Marathon Majors! I’m thrilled to be running the TCS London Marathon, not just as a personal challenge, but to support DSUK’s incredible mission. Every step I take will be a tribute to the power of running and a cause that truly matters!”
Francesco added: “Your donation will help fund lessons, adaptive equipment, and life-changing experiences. By taking on the London Marathon I want to help ensure more disabled children and adults experience the power of snowsport. If you can, please help me reach my fundraising goal and make a difference.”
