🏃♀️🏃♂️ On Sunday, a dedicated group of runners will take on the Cambridge Half Marathon to support Jimmy’s Cambridge, a charity providing vital support for people experiencing homelessness.
For many of our runners, this challenge is about more than just crossing the finish line—it’s about making a difference.
Gill, a Cambridge lawyer, shares her powerful motivation:
“Every kilometre, I ran for someone I knew—someone experiencing homelessness or rebuilding their life thanks to Jimmy’s. The heartbreaking truth? If I had run 1,000 miles, I could have had 1,000 names.”
“Homelessness is a reality we see every day, and Jimmy’s provides a lifeline. Once you tell people about their work, they want to help. Every donation, big or small, makes a real impact.”
