TWO teachers from Tavistock College took part in the Bath

Half Marathon to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Head of music Sarah Pappin and assistant principal Carolyn Tossell ran the 13.2 mile course with more than 10,000 other runners on a beautiful spring day.

Although a seasoned half marathon runner, this was Sarah's first since undergoing major surgery in September and she finished just a few minutes outside her personal best of 1 hour 32. Carolyn finished in just more 2hrs 30mins.

They chose to raise money for Cancer Research as cancer affects so many people's lives. Several colleagues in the college have lost a family relative or close friend to cancer, some know someone battling the disease right now and others have had or are having firsthand experience. Every penny counts so If you would like to sponsor either Sarah or Carolyn go to http://www.runningsponsorme.org/sarahpappin">www.runningsponsorme.org/sarahpappin or http://www.runningsponsorme.org/carolyntossell">www.runningsponsorme.org/carolyntossell
