Francesca Roberts, Chief Executive of CRASH said:
'We would like to thank everyone who took part in the Windsor Half Marathon, whether they were running, supporting friends and family taking part, or involved in the organisation of the event. Every penny of the donations CRASH received from the Windsor Half Marathon will go directly to projects that help individuals damaged by the experience of homelessness.  Thanks to your generosity homeless people throughout the UK are helped to gain the confidence and skills they need to integrate back into society and achieve an independent way of life.'
