Chloe Conquers the Big Apple!
Chloe Conquers the Big Apple! Our NY Marathon Superstar Has Raised Over £2,100 (and Counting!)
A colossal congratulations is in order for our incredible runner, Chloe, who completed the TCS New York City Marathon on Sunday, 2nd November, raising an astonishing total of over £2,100 for Home-Start Newark!
We are bursting with pride for Chloe, who took on the world’s most famous marathon and finished her debut race in a fantastic time of 4 hours and 16 minutes!
Her incredible effort will provide vital funds for Home-Start Newark’s services, including one-to-one home-visiting support, children’s early development initiatives, and our supported family group.
Chloe shared her unforgettable experience:
“What an unforgettable experience! The course was tougher than anything I’d trained for around Ollerton, but I pushed through and I’m incredibly proud to have completed my first marathon in 4 hours 16 minutes, and to have raised so much money for Home-Start Newark! It was a long day: I was up at 3:45 am and didn’t reach the start village until 9:20 am because of the huge queues. But with nearly 60,000 runners to get to the start, it was all part of the adventure. I still can’t believe I’m officially a marathoner! I really want to say a massive thank you to everybody who donated and supported me – you’ve all been so generous.”
Making a Life-Changing Difference
Chloe’s extraordinary fundraising total of over £2,100 is critical in enabling Home-Start Newark to continue its work supporting families experiencing a wide range of challenges, including: loneliness and isolation, mental and physical wellbeing, parenting, domestic abuse, financial struggles, housing issues, multiple birth, bereavement and more.
Sara Grant, Manager of Home-Start Newark, commented: “We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly proud of Chloe. Running a marathon is a massive undertaking, let alone one as tough as New York. Her dedication to training and fundraising has been inspirational. This generous donation will make a huge difference, allowing us to provide critical support to more families who need it most in our community. Every single pound helps us build stronger families, one step at a time.”
Thank you to everybody that has helped Chloe reach this incredible total!
