The Sussex Swallows (the cheer-squad from the University of Sussex) took time out from dissertation-writing and revising for exams to run the 10K. Society president and cheer leader Emma Gilbert said “We collectively chose to support RISE at the beginning of the year as it's a local charity with a cause close to our hearts.
"Having already raised money through a bake sale held on campus, I wanted to set a new challenge! I like to push the girls out of their comfort zone and I thought getting us all to run 10K would certainly be a push (as well as a great break from revision)!”
And the event would not have been such a success without the help of our crack team of volunteers who helped with registration, stewarding, staffing the bag-drop and water station, not to mention cheering our heroes along at every step of the way!
Registration for next year’s event will be open soon! Email [email protected] to be notified.
