2008 has been a fantastic year for running events at CLIC Sargent. The Charity would like to say a great big thank you to the record number of 1,300 runners who took to the streets, training day in day out to help raise over £1 million for CLIC Sargent.
Many CLIC Sargent runners battled the far from perfect weather conditions at the Bath Half Marathon and the Great South Run to help children with cancer!
Runners came from all corners of the UK to take part in events from the Flora London Marathon to the Great North Run. Huge thanks also go to those runners who went the extra few miles to take part in the marathons in Berlin, Chicago and New York city.
Sarah Kay ran the Great North Run for her nine-year-old niece Lille, who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Sarah was so inspired by the care and support provided by both CLIC Sargent Care Professionals and the medical team on the ward that she decided to take part in the race and raise money for both causes.
Sarah said: “Lille is an inspiration. I hate running but I was determined to take on this challenge because I saw the difference the nurses and medical team on the ward made to our family and I really wanted to give something back.”
