Just thought we’d share some news and great pics from a couple of amazing running fundraisers Sarah and John. If you’d like to do something similar check out our Events and Challenges page for inspiration or maybe set up a fundraiser page for an event you are doing.
Sarah completes the Great North Run !
Sunday 7th September saw Sarah Newman complete her first ever half marathon at the famous GNR in an impressive time of 2hrs 33min and 10 seconds. Pictured here with her well earned GNR medal Sarah is on the way to raise £800.
If you want to see her fundraiser and perhaps even boost her total , Sarah’s page is on our own fundraiser site here
Congratulations and Thanks Sarah for your efforts and contribution to Melanoma UK !
John completes the Garmin New Forest 10K Run !
On Sunday September 14th John Spiers ran the New Forest 10K race and we are delighted that he decided to raised money for our Charity. John told us why we were his chosen Charity..
“Our son Finn was diagnosed with skin cancer last February at the age of 25. He spent a number of months receiving treatment from the NHS and I’m pleased to say is now in recovery with ongoing checks and scans.
As parents Sarah and I felt helpless at times. Running the 10k for Melanoma UK is our small way of giving something back for the amazing medical help and support he received.“
John has raised over £575 to date on his ‘Gofundme’ site here in case anyone wants to add to his total.
Thanks John for your great contribution and sharing your story, we applaud and salute you with a fist pump right back at you !
