Member Fundraising
Details are given here of members who are currently raising money for charity. Please let us know if you would like to be added to this list:
Jim Thurston (Royal Marsden Hospital) and Mary Allan (AWE) ran the Edinburgh Marathon together on Sunday 29th May 2016. Both finished the course: Jim in a very respectable 5 hours and 23 minutes and Mary in a personal best of 4 hours and 36 minutes.
Jim recently lost a family member to cancer and Mary’s daughter has been battling cancer this year – so both have personal reasons to run and raise money for cancer charities. Their messages are given below:
"We would welcome the support of all our friends and colleagues within SRP and hope to raise much needed funds for our chosen cancer charities. Jim is running in aid of the Institute of Cancer Research. He has collected over £1600 so far, but is more than happy to receive more: https://www.justgiving.com/Jim-Thurston Mary is running for Clic Sargent which helps families of children and young people who are suffering from cancer and leukaemia. Mary has raised only £200 so far and her fundraising page can be found here: https://www.justgiving.com/mary-allan2015
