Tanner De Witt supports Jason Karas in 2018 Room to Read race

Tanner De Witt was delighted to support Lipman Karas principal Jason Karas as he competed in Room to Read, London’s Fastest Executive 10km Race, on 12 June in Hyde Park.

The race comprised of about 30 runners, including John Ridding (CEO of the Financial Times and Room to Read’s Global Chair), who each aimed to raise at least £10,000 for this worth cause. Three hundred thousand pounds will enable Room to Read’s literacy program to reach 10,000 children across Asia and Africa.
