Marathon hero
C
ONGRATULATIONS to the ever impressive Sarah Budden who completed the Virtual London Marathon on Sunday 4th October.
Sarah was supported by local friends Charlottte Chapman who ran the last 16 miles, Jenna Folkard who ran the last six miles and husband Nik who cycled alongside her for logistical support. Well done all.
Sarah started and finished the 26.2 mile route in Probus and finished in an incredibly impressive 4 hours 11 minutes. Just to make it more challenging the very last leg was the old Probus 10km route from Probus to Grampound Road via Ladock - the last part being all uphill. Over the 26.2 miles, Sarah took on 2,100 ft/640 m in elevation, significantly more uphill than the official London marathon route. Images: Sarah, supported by Jenna (left) and Charlotte (right) strides back into Probus after a gruelling 26.2 miles and bottom her route from Probus to circumnavigate Truro, Shortlanesend, Newham, St Clement and Grampound Road.
Sarah took on this challange to raise money for RCHT where she works as a Matron in Clinical Quality and Safety with a focus on reducing avoidable harm for patients. She plans to use any money raised to purchase specialised equipment, and pay for adaptations to the environment that support certain patient groups.
