Our Cambridge Half Marathon race team were beaming as they entered the finish line on, Sunday 9th March, to the roaring crowds.

Our team of 10 charity runners had to battle unexpected heat, along with the 15,500 runners taking part in the annual event, but they all achieved the 13.1mile route and raised £4,554.00 for CamSight!

Jack, ran for the first time for CamSight, "The entire event was amazing, and the atmosphere was electric! The support from the crowds throughout the city of Cambridge was something I’ve never experienced before. The positive energy from the crowd really spurs you on. It was a pleasure to meet the staff of CamSight on the day, and to raise money for them was an honour! It’s been an incredible experience for me and certainly something I will never forget."
