TeamCHECT was thrilled to celebrate the achievements of our ten runners at the 2023 London Marathon, who each crossed the finish line on Sunday 23 April! We are so proud of each and every one of them, for braving the rain and for completing the gruelling 26.2-mile course, starting in Blackheath in South London and finishing on The Mall near Buckingham Palace.
CHECT staff, family, and friends were out in full force at mile 20.5 to cheer on our runners for the final stretch of the race. We were thrilled to welcome them over the finish line in St James’s Park, where they received a well-deserved round of applause.
Each of our runners trained tirelessly in preparation for the event and have done brilliantly with their fundraising. Thank you to each of our runners, as well as their supporters and sponsors, for their unwavering support of CHECT and commitment to raising awareness of retinoblastoma.
