Sam decided to go in for the race as soon as he saw the notice. It was a 10-kilometre race to raise money for the local hospital. He tried to remember the last time he had entered a race.

It was about two years ago. He felt fit and ready to run. He started in the middle of the field, but after about five kilometres he started to fall behind the leading group. He felt good, when, suddenly, the pain in his right knee started. He couldn't keep up any longer. Little by little, he was falling behind, further and further. Finally, he had to drop out.

As soon as he stopped running, he collapsed. He was taken to hospital and it took two operations and six months before he could run again. He wanted to go in for this race to help the doctors and nurses who had helped him.

The big day arrived.

Sam started near the front. He kept up with the leaders for the first six kilometres. Then he started going faster. No one could catch up with him. The others fell behind and he won the race five minutes ahead of the field.

Some people had dropped out again, but enough runners finished to raise a total of £25,000 for the hospital.
