Nearly 2,500 runners made this year's Marlow Santa’s Fun Run an outstanding success. The event will enable over £47,000 to be distributed to a wide selection of charities and good causes. The two lead charities, Thames Valley Air Ambulance and Young Minds, will share nearly £7,000 from entry fees, and in addition Air Ambulance raised a four figure sum as a team of supporters entered the run and secured additional sponsorship.
This year the organisers introduced a special £5,000 Charity Pool with the support of the Shanly Foundation, Blaser Mills Law, Heart of Bucks Foundation and Community Impact Bucks. This money has been shared by eleven charities where teams of supporters met the award criteria. Charities benefitting were Macmillan Cancer Support, Vales House Dementia Care, War Child, Thames Valley Air Ambulance, Marlow Opportunity Playgroup, Bookmark, MS Society, Lighthouse Central, 11th High Wycombe Scouts and the Heart of Bucks Foundation
