Hi
A fantastic weekend was had at the Welwyn Hatfield CRUK Race For Life event at Stanborough Park.
Lindsey Fitness Members have supported this event every year for over 25 years. Last year the Lindsey Fitness event was organised virtually due to the pandemic to great success, but it was wonderful to be back this year as both volunteers and participants. The traditional normal warm up preceding both the Pretty Muddy (what fun!!!) on Saturday and the 5km & 10km race on Sunday was replaced by waves of participants in
line with COVID secure safety guidelines. I was given the task of finish line host on both days . What a total privilege to welcome home the participants following their efforts - men and women, all generations young and old, children and whole families, along with some serious runners and four legged friends. Everyone having been touched by cancer in some way, taking part and having fun in celebration or for more personal reasons - the emotion for some so
raw, but committing themselves to 'doing' something, raising funds, but making a statement.
Charities have taken such a huge hit during the pandemic and it is now more important than ever to support them and the amazing life saving research work and support they fund .
