Harriers' Hero

As many of you know, our friend and fellow Harrier, Craig, is currently battling bladder cancer. Craig is not just a valued member of East Cornwall Harriers — he’s at the heart of our club. A dedicated committee member, a leader, and a friend to many of us.

Craig’s strength, positivity, and determination in the face of his diagnosis are truly inspiring. Supported every step of the way by his amazing wife Kate, family, and friends, Craig continues to lead by example — even during his recovery — raising awareness and planning charity work to support others affected by bladder cancer.

Craig, your courage and commitment to making a difference are what make you our Harriers’ Hero. We’re all behind you, sending love, strength, and best wishes for a speedy recovery. 💪

We can’t wait to see you back where you belong — out with us, leading, laughing, and bringing your energy to our club. Until then, know that your Harriers family is with you every step of the way. 💛🖤
