Hazel's story
The Spartans chose Pancreatic Cancer UK as their charity of the year after many members have been personally affected. Cathy Craig, the 17-time marathoner known as “the Running Mum” of Stevenage’s Fairfield Valley Spartans (FVS) was diagnosed with and passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2022. Harlow police officer Bev Alexander, was lost to the disease in 2023. Bev’s dying wish was that a concerted effort be made to ramp up pancreatic research in the UK.
Her and Cathy’s premature passing led Spartans team-leader Hazel Smith, Cathy’s daughter, and club member Nigel Strongitharm, a close friend of Bev and her husband Gary, to propose Pancreatic Cancer UK as the running club’s annual charity for 2024. FVS embraced the idea and set a goal of £20,000.
The Club ended up raising an amazing £36,015 through the Stevenage half-marathon, club quizzes, coffee mornings, raffles held over the course of the year.
