TeamCHECT had an amazing day at the 2022 London Marathon! Thankfully the threatened rain stayed away, and the sun shone on our 11 wonderful runners as they set off on the 26.2 miles to The Mall, near Buckingham Palace. CHECT staff were at mile 20.5 to offer jelly babies and cheer them on along the way, when they might have been feeling a little weary – and then we welcomed them home in St. James’s Park, just past the finish line. We were thrilled to be joined by some of the runners’ friends and family at both points. It was an emotional afternoon, and we are so proud of our team. Everyone did brilliantly, from their training and heroic on the day performance, to their fabulous fundraising. And to make the event extra special, CHECT runner Phil not only achieved a personal best but proposed to Darcie at the end! A huge thank you to all our runners and of course their sponsors and supporters – and a big shout out to our corporate partner Vision Express colleague Katie, who raised funds for CHECT and the Macular Society from her run, too.
A huge thank you to all who attended the London Marathon!
