Running for Angus
Every day, for almost a year, Sandringham Houseparent Tom Webb has run five kilometres to raise money for Angus’ Army, the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. The charity, one of the whole school ones for this year, was started after student Angus was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in the summer of 2023 and received treatment from the Royal Marsden.
Sandringham House formed themselves into Angus’ Army, enlisting students, staff and parents from across the school community. First they ran the Oxford Half Marathon to raise money for the charity and then 100 miles of the South Downs. Mr Webb continued the fundraising by pledging to run 5Ks every day, whatever the weather and wherever he was in the world.
On January 1st he will have completed his year of running, bringing the total number of kilometres run to 1,825 and helping to raise boost the amount raised for the charity which now stands at a staggering £46,500. As he nears the end of his marathon achievement, he is hoping to hit the £50,000 mark for the charity. Can you help him do this? Donations can be made here.
