BBC news presenter and CRY patron Ben Brown successfully completed his first half-marathon and raised more than £1,000 in memory of Tom Clabburn for CRY on Sunday, October 12th.

Ben, a CRY patron, took part in the Royal Parks Foundation half-marathon and finished in a time of 1hr 49mins.

Ben said “It was wonderful to be able to run my very first half marathon for CRY and in the memory of Tom Clabburn, son of my friends Claire and Paul, who tragically died 7 years ago. I’m thrilled to have raised more than a thousand pounds for CRY in his name and to have run it in a decent 1.49.21 – the weather was kind, the route was beautiful and the training kicked in!!”
