MARTY WILDE DONATES 'RUNNING TOGETHER' AS ANTHEM TO THE VIRGIN MONEY LONDON MARATHONPop/rock icon, Marty Wilde, and daughters Roxanne and Kim Wilde, offer their support to tomorrow's London Marathon by donating their song 'Running Together' as the encouraging anthem to runnersOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY The PR Stable Rock/pop icon donates his track ‘Running Together’ as the unofficial anthem as tomorrow’s London Marathon and encourages all to ‘stick together’ during these unusual times. Marty was inspired earlier this year, after attending a charity fun run, “Everyone was together, working hard for the same cause,” comments Marty, “and I felt compelled to go home and create an upbeat fun track that would be a perfect boost to anyone running. Little did I know that lockdown was on the horizon at that time and this song has become even more poignant as we’ve needed to metaphorically ‘run together’, even when we’ve been forced to be apart.” “So I wish everyone in tomorrow’s London Marathon all the best of luck, those in London and those running in their own separate towns and cities. No matter what, we’re all behind you and you’re all running together.’ ‘Running Together’ is the title track taken from Marty Wilde’s new album ‘Running Together’ out now on Pushka Records/Right Track Universal .#londonmarathon #martywilde #kimwilde #roxannewilde AboutMARTY WILDE: Marty Wilde MBE, originally born Reginald Smith.
