Actor Nigel Havers backs Chariots of Fire relay race in Cambridge

The actor Nigel Havers enjoyed a visit to the Großer Hof am Trinity College – the scene of the great court against 12 strikes of his famous clock, which he brought to life in the film Chariot of Fire.

He played Lord Andrew Lindsay and challenged the Cambridge runner Harold Abrahams, played by the deceased Ben Cross, to the famous race.

But this time Nigel cheered three nurses from Roald Dahl’s wonderful children charity organization clare Clark, Katrina Cousins and Elizabeth Joshua-John-when they were a little trained before this year’s fire for the fire brigade’s race.

The annual run, which was inspired by the 1981 film by the film and its offer to win a gold medal at the 1924 Olympics, takes place on Sunday, September 21st.

And it will support the charity because they use donations for the establishment of Roald Dahl medical sister specialists in hospitals across Great Britain to take care of some of the most serious children in the country.

“We didn’t expect this film to have such a permanent legacy,” said Nigel. “But I am really happy to have been part of it, and I am very happy to be here at Trinity with these Roald Dahl medical sisters today, and that this year’s Chariot of Fire event with Roald Dahl’s wonderful children will work with charity organization and work that they do with the support of children and their families with some of the serious illnesses.

“Nurses do a fantastic job everywhere, but meeting Roald Dahl Hilder Sisters Katrina, Clare and Elizabeth and listening to the work they do, and personalized care that they bring for children with lifelong or lifelong serious illnesses, I was impressed how much meaning this kind of work makes.”

The relay race, in which teams of six 1.7-mile rounds are involved in the whole city, has collected more than 1.5 million pounds since its start in 1992.

Now organized by HCR Hewitsons, the run in collaboration with Runfough attracted 1,700 participants last year when it brought more than 43,000 GBP for Magpas Air Airgance.

It is still time to register your team for the run, which, as always, begins and ends on Queens’ green and ends through some colleges from the University of Cambridge.
