As part of our 'Friday Fundraiser' blogging series this week we would like to thank team 9 Gough Square and Samantha Critchley for taking part in the British London 10K.

Every other week we aim to provide you with an inspiring Friday Fundraiser, and this week will not disappoint. Our Friday Fundraisers are Samantha Critchley (Partner at Field Fisher Waterhouse, member of the Legal Services Directory), Jaime Brooks, James Tippey, Kirsten Sills and Joanna Smith (staff from 9 Gough Square barristers chambers).

The team took to the streets of London last Sunday and along with 25,000 others people to run in the British London 10K. Even with the current weather all members completed the race in good time. Well done to Jaime Brooks who finished first in 48 minutes 9 secs, closely followed by James Tippey, 31 secs behind him. Samantha Critchley completed the race in 57 minutes, Kirsten Sills finished in 1 hour 10 minutes, followed by Joanna Smith who finished in 1 hour 31 minutes.
The British London 10K is an iconic race that takes its' runners through Trafalgar Square, past Somerset House and finishes near Downing Street. Not sure if our runners managed to take in many of the sites though. Never fear the Child Brain Injury Trust was there on the day cheering them on to the finish line. It was a great day, with everyone getting involved and cheering the runners on to the very end.
