SCZ Cheerleaders (a.k.a. Heart Runners Cheer Team) were cheering all day on Sunday for the UK's number one Heart charity, the British Heart foundation at the Flora London Marathon on Sunday the 26th of April.
Katherine Shirtcliffe, Events Coordinator for the BHF says:
"The BHF had over 600 Heart Runners at this year?s marathon and the Space City Zoo Cheerleaders helped to make the British Heart Foundation?s (BHF) cheering point one of the brightest and boldest along the route. It is extremely important to show our runners just how thankful we are for their dedication in the race against heart disease. The cheers from SCZ helped provide great encouragement to spur on the runners, as well as motivate the BHF supporters in the crowds to be the loudest and proudest with their cheers. (...) Thank you again for your hard work and all the effort that went in to cheering on our runners. I think it really made a difference and we have had some great feedback."
