Well Done to Catherine Cole who ran in the White Horse Harriers Half Marathon last Sunday 6 April 2014 in aid London's Air Ambulance, also known as London HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service). She completed the Half Marathon in just over 1 hr and 51 minutes which was her personal best and along with her 7 team members has collectively raised approximately £4,500.
Catherine is based at ABD’s Devizes office in the Private Client Department.
Catherine ran in the memory of her husband’s cousin who died in a road accident as she cycled to work in West Dulwich, London. The paramedics on board the London HEMS fought so hard to save her life having arrived on the scene within minutes but sadly her injuries were just too severe.
The White Horse Half Marathon is a very popular race with no more than about 500 runners. It first started in 1983 and takes its name from the White Horse of Uffington which although about 8 miles from the Grove (where the race starts) is Britain’s oldest – about 3,000 years old famous bronze age hill figure!
The White Horse Half Marathon has supported a variety of different causes and charities over the years. This year the race supported Air Ambulance Berks/Oxon/Bucks.
Catherine will be running with ABD Team on Sunday 9 September 2014 in the Chippenham Half Marathon and will help to raise monies for both Alzheimer’s Society and Dorothy House.
No doubt she will be running a few more races in between!
We will catch up with her again later in the year...
