SSFC at the Adidas Mini Marathon
Part of Flora London Marathon 2008
A big well done to all our 37 runners who completed the Flora London Marathon 2008 on Sunday 13th April. Despite the rain everyone made great time. It was fantastic to see so many of you at the reception with your family and friends.
A special mention to Liam, Alex, James and Maire from SSFC who completed the Mini-Marathon for ActionAid and our Convict Team who broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest chained team in 3 hours 38 minutes and 27 seconds!

A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored us at the London Mini Marathon! We are St. Simon's Friday Club, the youth club of St. Simon's Church, Putney. We are raising money for an ongoing project helping children to get a good education and access to clean safe water in Ghana. Many children are unable to go to school because they have to help their families to earn a living, or walk for hours to fetch clean water - and just 17p a day could help change all that! Our team of four young athletes at the Adidas London Mini Marathon kickstarted our fundraising brilliantly and exceeded their target of £2000, but are still collecting for the project, so if you haven't already donated, please give whatever you can. Every little bit will help us to achieve our target and change children's lives!
My Message
Hi, thank you from all of us for your generous donations. We had a great day and even raised more than our target of £2,000 - but we are still collecting towards our next target of £5,000. So if you weren't able to sponsor us for the mini marathon, you can still donate! Thank you again for your support, Liam, James, Alex and Maire.
