Bridgewater runners shine at Mcr Marathon

The streets of Manchester served as the backdrop for an inspiring display of energy and dedication during the 2024 Adidas Manchester Marathon. Among the thousands who participated from around the country, three individuals from Bridgewater School stood out for their remarkable achievements and unwavering support for a noble cause.

Mrs Hilton, Mr Connolly and Mrs O’Callaghan, accompanied by her husband Mark, proudly represented Bridgewater School as they took on the 26.2 mile challenge. Their participation was not just about personal triumphs, it was also a testament to their true commitment to making a difference.

Each runner tackled the marathon with determination, pushing themselves to surpass personal goals and achieve new milestones. What is even more remarkable is the collective impact of these amazing individuals. Through their participation, nearly £4,000 was raised in support of Macmillan Cancer Support, Cancer Research UK and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, helping support those affected by cancer and advancing vital research and treatment initiatives.

Their inspiring journey serves as a reminder of the power of individuals coming together for a common cause and we celebrate their achievements as shining examples of our school community’s spirit and values.
