SpongeBob runners raise over £30,000
A WORLE mum and her friends have raised more than £30,000 after dressing in SpongeBob Squarepants costumes and running the London Marathon in memory of her daughter.
Sue Collard completed the run along with Kev Knight, Sarah Toms, Carole Craddock, Dave Elliott, Stuart Jervis and Gary Moore.
Sue’s daughter Mary, pictured right, who was a member of Weston’s Swimming Club and the town’s Act One drama group, lost her brave battle with bone cancer in 2012 at the age of 11.
Her favourite cartoon was the Nickelodeon show, and so Sue decided this would be the perfect costume for the big run and a great way to raise money for the Bone Cancer Research Trust.
Since the friends were allocated their individual places they worked hard on organising various charity events such as golf days, gigs, cake sales and quiz evenings.
The team have raised more than £30,000, with more still being collected, and Sue said: “I would like to thank everyone who has supported us in continuing to remember Mary and to raise awareness of bone cancer and to find a cure.”
