33 Felsted Runners Ready for Cambridge Half Marathon

A week on Sunday, a team of 33 Felsted students and staff will be running the Cambridge Half Marathon in support of the school charities. There has been a lot of hard work put into training over the last few weeks, and we are very much looking forward to a very successful day!
 

Please do come along and support the runners if you are in the Cambridge area (TTP Cambridge Half Marathon).  This is also an opportunity to support the work of all the school charities, who are incredibly grateful for any donations.  Last year a team of 25 runners successfully completed the Hampton Court Half, raising nearly £12,000 in the process.  We would love to be able to beat that figure this year!

Elwyn's House is supporting Magic Bus, with Ben W and Tom K running alongside Mr Grant, Mr Andrews and Mr Jevons - Elwyn House is fundraising for Magic Bus

In addition to the school charities, we also have runners supporting a couple of local Cambridge charities:

Ms Wilding is running her first ever half marathon for CamSight - Vicki Wilding is fundraising for CamSight

and Mr Barrett is running for Jimmy's - Francis Barrett is fundraising for Jimmy's

As a school, supporting our community is a really important part of what we are, and if you could give up one coffee, or one takeaway to help one of the charities above, I know that it would help to inspire the runners to get around the course on Sunday 8th March.

Many thanks in advance for your kindness and generosity,
Chris
