The Bristol Half Marathon 6th September 2009
What a day that was! The Charlie Froud Foundation team took to the streets of Bristol to raise money for the worthy causes that the foundation supports. The event was sponsored by Lucy Bristow Appointments.
It was a day of fun and huge personal achievements:
· Lucy Bristow finished in 1 hour and 53 minutes, a personal best
· David Froud finished! Having given up smoking in February and surviving a knee injury along the way, he completed the course in 2hours and 28 minutes
· Davey Todd generously ran with David to support and encourage him, foregoing any attempt to better his previous personal best of 1 hour and 49 minutes.
· Charlie’s very good friends Tom Edwards, Nick Lamb and Stuart Christie all enjoyed the day and ran good times
· Bethany Hope ran for the 1st time – in an amazing 2 hours and 9 minutes
· Well done to several seasoned runners in the team who came close to their personal bests including Nick, Gerry and Clare.
· The seven first time runners in the team all finished – more to their surprise than anyone else’s - Emma and Danny were particularly worried
The total raised is anticipated to be in excess of £4,000 so a huge thank you to everyone who sponsored the runners and donated to the cause on the day! We will update you in a few weeks with the final amount and details of how the money will be spent.
Also a massive thank you to colleagues, family and friends who came to support on the day – you made all the difference.
