Survival of the Fittest
On Sunday 11th October seventeen runners took to the streets of London and the footpaths of the Royal Parks to complete the thirteen miles of the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon and raise money for Children & the Arts. The CATA team consisted of 20 volunteer fundraisers, including CATA Chief Executive Jeremy Newton. After lots of training the team all performed admirably in the race with Jeremy running an impressive 1 hour 42 minutes. Not only did all runners put in hours of arduous training in order to complete the course but they also put in lots of strenuous work fundraising before the event. Methods to raise money varied from cake sales to poker nights and pub quizzes. All their efforts were well rewarded however as together they managed to raise in excess of £6,000, which will go directly into funding CATA’s work across the country. Children & the Arts would like to extend our gratitude to all those ran the half marathon for their hard work.
