Hastings cancer support charity invites people to raise money with Hastings Half Marathon


The Sara Lee Trust provide free psychological and therapeutic support to people affected by a variety of life-threatening illnesses. They are asking runners to support their work by taking part in this year’s half marathon, a 13 mile round route which will start on Sea Road on March 29.
The charity, which already supports 800 people each year, is hoping to raise £6,500 with the half-marathon, enough to support another 50 people this year.

Hide AdKatie Jones, the fundraising manager for the Sarah Lee trust said: “We know that, locally, there are many people affected by cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, who struggle on without any or very limited support.
“The more runners we have- the more likely we are to achieve this goal!”
Participants don’t have be Mo Farah to take part, though, the Sara Lee Trust has also organised a walking team for the event, which will be tackling the marathon at a slightly slower, more comfortable pace.
Katie said: “If you’re not quite the energetic athlete and would rather enjoy a chat and a sing throughout the course , then this is a great way to support the trust.”
