 | Chris Bain, CAFOD’s Director said, ‘This is an incredible amount of money. Once again the Catholic Today Great North Run team have pulled out all the stops with their tremendous efforts to support CAFOD’s work. We would like to say a huge thank you to each of our runners whose generosity, willingness to step up to the mark, courage and fitness made this fundraising achievement possible. |
 | Abigail McMillan from CAFOD’s West Midlands Office said: ‘what an amazing total, it is so wonderful watching people from all over the Archdiocese come together to act as a community for the benefit of communities far away. During my trip to Zimbabwe I was able to see what a difference CAFOD’s work makes to people’s lives, and now with this money raised through the Great North Run, more communities in Zimbabwe will benefit. Seeing people put their faith into action by running for CAFOD is a real inspiration to us all.’ |
 | Archbishop Bernard said: ‘I feel very proud of the 22 runners who raised such a wonderful amount of money for our brothers and sisters in Zimbabwe. Catholic Today’s vision, I know, is very much rooted in reaching out to the poor and always ready to raise its voice on their behalf. This fundraising campaign on behalf of Cafod is a perfect example, and I congratulate and thank all the participants.’ |
