Runner adds bite to his fundraising for South Yorkshire charity - dressed as a shark
A pleasant Parkrun might seem a safe way to enjoy a spot of weekend keep fit…unless there’s a shark about!
Cayde Woods provided a colourful distraction at five Parkruns in both Sheffield and Rotherham as he raised almost £600 for South Yorkshire youth homelessness charity Roundabout.
Cayde is a regular Roundabout volunteer, regularly helping out at events like the charity’s biannual game swap.
But deciding to complete his summer challenge dressed as a bright blue shark proved to be tougher than he’d imagined.
“What I didn’t realise was that I’d barely be able to see where I was going and that it would feel as hot as a greenhouse,” he admitted.
“But after completing five Parkruns in five weeks, I’m very pleased that I’ve managed to raise £573!
“A huge thank you to everyone who donated to the cause and especially to those who ran with me around the five amazingly fun Parkruns!
