Despite all of this, on the day we cheered on 10 fabulous participants who stepped up to the tracks and took the course by storm. We had a variety of seasoned runners to beginners, all with the aim to fundraise and make money for a great cause – YMCA! It was a delight seeing everybody competing in this glorious event with a smile on their faces.
We were overjoyed to see 3 of our very own staff members taking part among the players from the café, gym and housing (Joe, Brooke and Pamela) – congratulations you three! We have been so lucky and so very grateful for the outstanding £3,156 which has been raised to date for our organisation by our generous supporters – thank you all so much!
