Members of the Cranleigh FC Women’s Team were out in force at Knowle Park, 21st September, taking part in the first-ever Infinity Run. The event, which invited participants to complete as many or as few laps of the 2.5k course as they liked, was held to raise funds for MacMillan Cancer Support in memory of Graham Fishwick, a beloved employee of local firm Informed Choice Ltd, who sadly passed away from cancer earlier this year.
Despite a heavy downpour at the start of the run, spirits remained high as the weather shifted to glorious sunshine later in the afternoon. Cranleigh FC was well-represented among the runners and walkers, all of whom were determined to make a difference for this important cause.
A special mention goes to Cranleigh FC Women’s Team player Fi Hughes, who took on the impressive challenge of running for the full five hours of the event. Covering 25k over the scenic Knowle Park course, Fi’s dedication and endurance stood out on the day and inspired many others around her.
This inaugural Infinity Run was not just a one-off. Plans are already in place to make it an annual event, ensuring continued support for MacMillan Cancer Support and their incredible work in helping individuals and families affected by cancer.
Cranleigh FC is proud of its players, like Fi and the entire Women’s Team, for their participation and contribution to the local community. Their involvement reflects the club’s commitment to making a positive impact both on and off the pitch. Keep an eye on the club’s calendar for next year’s Infinity Run and other opportunities to get involved in supporting this wonderful cause.
