🐊✨ C25K Graduation Day ✨🐊

Today we celebrated our incredible C25K graduates and what an achievement it’s been! Over the last 10 weeks, every single one of them has shown up with determination, commitment, and positivity! Pushing themselves week after week and proving just how much can be achieved when you keep going. We honestly couldn’t be prouder of you all 💚

The support today was amazing too, with a huge Gator turnout cheering everyone on from start to finish 🐊👏

We also want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to Emma for leading this incredible group through the course, and to Jase, Roge, and Angie for all of their support along the way. Your encouragement, energy, and dedication have made such a difference, and we’re so grateful for everything you’ve done.

We are so proud to have every one of you as Gators 🐊💚

(We’ll have a special reel to come capturing all the smiles from today! 🥰)

Third weekend in a row and we’re still celebrating marathon runners 🐊💚

A huge congratulations to Christian for completing the Blackpool Marathon and to Ben & Matt for smashing the London Marathon you’ve all been absolutely incredible. What an inspiration to everyone around you!

Marathons are tough… but that feeling of accomplishment is everything. This is what makes being a Gator so special. The support, the encouragement, and the shared drive to achieve something big.

Well done Guys! 🐊💚❤️🖤
