A Marathon Effort

Congratulations to all our students, staff and friends of the Daily Mile Network NI for completing this year’s Belfast Marathon. Five relay teams took part, raising vital funds for The Children’s Cancer Unit Charity. A big thank you to not just the teams but to our dedicated team of student volunteers who supported the teams and other staff and friends who came out in the sunny weather to cheer and support the runners on Sunday.

The Children’s Cancer Unit Charity has a very close personal connection to one member of the team, whose  9 year old niece is currently undergoing treatment for a rare childhood cancer called rhabdomyosarcomaFaye is the most wonderful child with a zest for life and a truly amazing smile.

So far, the team’s marathon effort has raised over £3200 – a fantastic achievement and many thanks to everyone who has supported us to date. The team’s just giving page is still open for donations to support this very worthy charity in their mission to provide the best possible treatment for children, young people and their families, facing a cancer diagnosis.

A fantastic achievement! Well done to all our runners, volunteers and supporters.
