Students Volunteer at London Marathon for Fourth Year

For the past four years, St Mary's University College, Twickenham, has provided a workforce of Sport Rehabilitation students who volunteered their massage skills for the runners at the London Marathon.

This year forty students worked for Cancer Research, the Children's Society, the Mental Health Foundation and Oxfam.

Juliet Rykens, National Events Executive (Running) at Cancer Research UK said, "The St Mary’s team is always so friendly, hard working and enthusiastic. I look forward to meeting them as I know each year they will come in smiling and chomping at the bit to get going. We had around 252 runners who had massages, in 4.5 hours, between 24 therapists."

Samantha McGill, Lecturer in Sport Rehabilitation at St Mary’s said, "The students were truly amazing and worked tirelessly for over five hours with their fantastic massage skills. All of the charities were so grateful and I was so proud of the students."
