Thirteen runners - the most we've ever had - ran the Oysho Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 11th October and raised a total, so far, of nearly £12,000 - doubling our £6,000 target. This total includes money raised by two runners who sadly couldn't be there on the day. The team this year also included two of our own, Head of Volunteering, Helen Liley and Fundraising Manager, Kirsty Hall. They were all cheered on from the side lines by staff members Matilda and Sally. 

We are enormously grateful for their hard work and dedication in their months of training leading up to the event. The sun shone and we hope all the runners enjoyed their goody bags when they got home, especially the bath salts to ease their aching muscles. 

Well done everyone!
