Despite being unwell and then pulling her calf muscle and hurting her back on route, Pauline still completed the course in 59 minutes and 39 seconds. Pauline was determined not to let down those who had sponsored her on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Society. What determination!

Gemma managed to beat last year’s time by 2 minutes and completed the course in 54 minutes and 37 seconds. Gemma was thrilled with this time as it was within her target.

Pauline and Gemma would like to thank all those who sponsored them; the support and best wishes really helped to spur them on throughout the course and the donations will really help those who suffer with Alzheimer’s and their families to gain the help and much needed support they need.

The tournament, which featured 20 teams from Greenwich, Bexley and Kent, was held to provide an opportunity for young people who have experienced mental illness to take part in a competition on the famous Valley turf.

Many of the teams that entered have links with CACT’s mental health project, which RCS are patrons of, including teams from Oxleas, Status Employment and CACT’s acclaimed Kent and Medway NHS project.

Carl Krauhaus, CACT’s Disability and Mental Health Officer, said: “The tournament is a great example of using football as an aid in the recovery process of young people who have suffered mental health problems.”

RCS are really excited about supporting the CATC’s Disability and Mental Health strand. Support for those with disabilities or mental health issues is vital and RCS are proud to be able to help in any way we can.

We are looking forward to being able to help fundraise and offer manpower through our staff to help out whenever possible.
