Story

13.1 mile charity run - Leeds - Sunday 10th May. Following on from our St Helens 10k run in March, the same 5 runners, including Sean, will be running for Alisha again in Leeds. After raising £641.25 in St Helens we are aiming for £1,000 in sponsorship for our half marathon. We are really looking forward to this next challenge and would be most grateful for any donations to the Meningitis Now charity. Please donate online, or pass on cash to any of the runners. And please Gift Aid your donation.

FINAL THANKS TO ALL FOR THE SUPPORT & DONATIONS

11th May 2015
All discussions at work this morning were about how much we all enjoyed the day, what an inspiration it was to be involved with Alisha's charity, and when our next run would be! Coxy's doing an Ironman Triathlon in a few weeks, but he'll be on his own for that one! There were many congratulations from all our staff colleagues and a round of applause at staff briefing. A final thank you to all our sponsors for the money raised. The current total is £1531.25, but the fund will stay open and we still have some more cash donations rolling in and other amounts promised. Thanks again for your generosity and support. Thanks also to Sean & Michaela's family for the welcome home party yesterday. We had a good few drinks and raised a glass to Alisha who was our inspiration on the day. God bless her and all the family.

RACE COMPLETED - over £1500 raised.
