On Friday evening 12 eager quiz teams from Runnymede Runners (https://www.runnymederunners.com/) assembled to raise money for CRY. This was in memory of Oliver Griffin who suddenly passed away 15 years ago at the age of 26. His family were all present. His dad, Owen Griffin, is a member of the club, a marathon runner, and a witty and terrific quiz master. His mum, Barbara Griffin, gave a touching welcoming speech which gave the event and evening real meaning. It was a fun occasion, and much appreciated because – since the pandemic – there have been very few opportunities for us to come together as a friendly and mutually supportive club.
In total we raised £1000 for CRY, and also helped support the local cricket club by getting (politely) rowdy at their bar. We really appreciated raffle donations from Achieve Lifestyle Egham, the Fairmont Windsor Park Hotel, Jumbo Importers, Saville Garden, Synergy Physiotherapy, and Up & Running in Teddington and lots of help from running friends.
