Eleven ‘dental ladies’ known as the ‘Running Dental Devils’ gathered in Finsbury Park, London on 7 July this year and raised over £600 for Cancer Research UK.
Laura Horton, Sylvie Sturrock and a number of other ladies working in the dental industry ran in a Race for Life event in 2010, but this year they chose a location that offered 5 km and 10 km distances. Five of this year's group ran 10 km and six ran 5 km.
‘We had a fantastic day even though there was a major downpour before the race,’ said Laura Horton. ‘The sense of achievement and the mood among the team when we finished was fabulous. Achieving something as part of a group is much more rewarding than doing so alone.’
The Running Dental Devils were very grateful to Wil Watts, Events Manager at dental CPD training centre Seminars@thirtyeight, who waited in the mud and rain to look after the ladies' bags!
