UK Travel Industry Team Runs for the Family Holiday Association in the 2008 Flora London Marathon

London, United Kingdom, April 05, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Family Holiday Association (FHA) is fielding a 25-strong travel industry team in the Flora London Marathon on April 13, all of whom have committed to raising £1,200 each for the charity which provides UK breaks for families struggling to deal with difficult circumstances.

The team, which aims to raise £30,000 this year, has a strong TUI Travel contingent and has been sponsored by Malaysia Tourism.

Razip Hasan, Director of Tourism Malaysia, said that they were delighted to sponsor the Family Holiday Association’s team.

“The FHA’s work, in providing disadvantaged families with the chance of a deserving break, highlights the importance of holidays that so many take for granted," he said.

“As the majority of the team’s runners are from within the travel sector, it is an apt environment for us to offer support to. We look forward to hosting the post race party at this very worthwhile event and offering a glimpse of Malaysia as a caring holiday destination.”

FHA Director John McDonald said, “We’ve got a fantastic team this year and we’re so grateful for the support of Tourism Malaysia”.

“With their help, the team will raise enough to give around 60 underprivileged families with young children the chance to enjoy a break by the sea this summer.”
