The four CBM supporters - Gaz Howarth, Gaidig Le Minor, Mat Marchant and Pippa Froggatt, all took to the streets of London on Sunday 11th July to run the annual ASICS British 10k London Run.

The team joined thousands of other runners on a route that passed many familiar London landmarks before ending at Royal Horse Guards Parade.

'Fantastic Achievement'

Between them, they have raised more than £600 in support of CBM's work.

UK National Director, Dr Bill McAllister, called the team's effort "..a fantastic achievement. We are so very grateful to Gaz, Gaidig, Mat and Pippa, and the support of their sponsors. The funds they have raised will really make a difference and help people with disabilities to lead a fuller life".

Pippa Froggatt recently returned from Haiti, where she worked as part of the CBM Emergency Response Team providing essential physiotherapy to people with disabilities and those who were injured in the devastating earthquake of January 12.
