30 members of staff from Balcarras School are raising money for Sue Ryder, by running the Cheltenham half marathon.

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with Sue Ryder's support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. They are there when it matters.

Our runners are ranging from sub 1h20m half marathon runners, through slow veterans of many miles, some people who haven't put on their trainers for several years and some first timers. I have run it before, but that was in 2018 and I found it very tough then - so 7 years later, and a bit heavier, think it will take a huge effort on my part to complete.

Please help us support this worthy cause, and inspire me to get back to fitness in the process. I am going to try to beat my previous time as well (2h32), ha ha. Any money you give, however much, is welcomed
