The Royal Bank of Canada’s (RBC) Race for the Kids sponsored run in London last 
month raised £258,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, easily
beating the original target of £120,000.

More than 1,200 people took part in the 5k run on 6 June.

Doug McGregor, Chairman and co-CEO of RBC Capital Markets said: “I’m excited that
in our first year working with the Great Ormond Street Hospital we have seen such
tremendous support from both our employees and the public. We are delighted this
year’s event has been so successful and are committed to continuing to build strong
partnerships with charities in the regions where we operate. We will continue to
support this fantastic cause in 2011.”
