The largest community-led fund-raising event in Cambridgeshire.
25th Sawston Fun Run
Let’s mark the 25th event by raising a record amount to add to the £319,000 that has already been donated to local charities. Please raise as much money as you can for the local charities by asking your friends to sponsor you and helping everyone make it a great success.
This year money raised will go towards helping babies and young children who are acutely ill, those who need urgent medical support and a whole range of local community groups.
The major ones:
- Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, Addenbrookes - to purchase a wireless operated life support measurement machine, used when very sick children are in transit to and around the hospital. The unit is the only Paediatric Intensive Care Unit in East Anglia.
Picture by courtesy:- Cambridge News - Magpas - to help buy equipment for the local Emergency Medical Team.
- Spicers Community Pavilion, Sawston - to equip the community area in this new local facility.
- Duxford Saturday Workshop - to buy violins for the new beginner classes.
- St. Mary’ Community Hall, Sawston - to help with the upgrading of this local community hall.
