At 3G's Civils Ltd, we pride ourselves not just on the work we do in civil engineering, but also on our commitment to supporting meaningful causes. One such initiative close to our hearts is Connor Gannon’s half marathon in Leamington Spa, which he completed in June 2024 to raise funds for the National Autism Society.
Why Autism?
Autism is a developmental condition that affects how people perceive and interact with the world around them. It can have a significant impact on individuals and their families, influencing everything from communication and social interaction to sensory sensitivities. For Connor, this cause is deeply personal. Several people close to 3G's Civils Ltd, including family members, have been touched by autism, and this experience has fostered an understanding of the challenges and triumphs that come with it.
In Connor's words:
“I’ve seen first-hand how autism affects families, and how crucial the right support and understanding can be. It’s my way of giving back and helping raise awareness.”
The Half Marathon Journey
Training for a half marathon is no small feat, especially when balancing the demands of leading a busy civil engineering company. Connor dedicated countless hours to both his physical preparation and fundraising efforts. Whether pounding the pavement on chilly mornings or working long days on-site, his determination never wavered.
On race day, Connor joined hundreds of other participants, running 13.1 miles through the scenic routes of Leamington Spa. His aim wasn’t just to cross the finish line but to help raise awareness for a cause that impacts so many families across the UK.
Supporting the National Autism Society
The National Autism Society plays a crucial role in supporting individuals and families affected by autism. From providing essential services and resources to advocating for better societal understanding, the organisation helps improve the lives of those with autism. Donations like Connor’s make a tangible difference, funding everything from specialised education programs to helplines for families in need of support.

Final Thoughts
At 3G’s Civils Ltd, we believe in standing behind our team members as they work to make a difference in the world. Connor’s half marathon is a shining example of how we can use our platform to support not just infrastructure projects but also initiatives that uplift our communities.
We’re incredibly proud of Connor’s achievement and encourage everyone to get involved, whether through donations, spreading awareness, or participating in future fundraising events.
