Children Today: Coventry Half Marathon and the Mercia Mile
Coventry Half Marathon and the Mercia Mile
On Sunday 25th October, the Children Today team took to the streets of Coventry.
Paul Tranter (one of Children Today’s trustees) and Glynn Davies ran the Half Marathon. Paul is a bit of an old hand at this but it was Glynn’s first time and he did a fantastic job, managing a time of 2hr 38 minutes after only 3 weeks training!
The three girls, Kirsty Harris, and , all ran the Mercia Mile, and raised nearly £300 between them. Luke Nash did the Mercia Mile as well, with his Mum, Emma, little sister, Lucy and Emma Fawcett, our Regional Fundraising Manager. Children Today helped the family source funds for Luke’s state of the art wheelchair last year and he wanted to raise sponsorship for us. Which he has done a fantastic job of, raising in the region of £500!
And here’s some proof we did it! All slightly out of breath but very happy with our medals!
Thank you to everyone who took part for Children Today and thanks to the organisers who did a great job and made it a fun event to be involved with.
Look out for details of next year’s race!
