Liverpool Santa Dash

A crisp morning on Sunday 7th December saw over 8,000 Santa’s take to the streets of Liverpool for the 2008 Liverpool Santa Dash, of which CLIC Sargent was one of the two official charities, in partnership with Century Radio. Currently the event has raised more than £12,000 to help children with cancer and their families and this total is set to rise.

The atmosphere was electric, with a sea of Santa’s taking over the city for the day, with babies in prams dressed as Rudolph; three-legged Santa’s limping bravely across the finishing line and Santa’s being pulled through the city in their sleigh.
 
Emily Felix-Davis, Event Fundraising Manager at CLIC Sargent says: “On the day the Santa’s received many cheers, particularly from the Liverpool Foxes cheerleading squad from Liverpool University, who kindly agreed to become the CLIC Sargent cheerleaders for the day. They were loud, enthusiastic and proud, braving the 8.00am chill by the dockside to come and support the Santa’s running on behalf of CLIC Sargent.”
