Hit the £7000 mark!

Today I hit the £7000 mark for this years sponsorship and event fundraising for the CF Trust. I am sincerely grateful to all of you that have helped me reach this figure for a second time in memory of our beautiful friend Kirsty. Cystic Fibrosis remains the UK's most common life threatening hereditary diseases and relies on support from the public to help research into finding a cure.

Every penny counts and I am so pleased that so many of you have helped out by sponsoring my challenges, coming to our events and spreading the word about Cystic Fibrosis.

Under four weeks until I head off on my trek, more information about my trek will be up soon!

RACE NIGHT TOTAL!

Thanks to everyone who came along to our Race Night on Saturday evening. We had a fun filled evening with horse races, beautiful food, great company, a bar, a great raffle and loads of wonderful prizes, we sold out of entry spaces, and raised a grand total profit of £1510.98 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Thanks to all of our race night runners, our chef, bar staff, coordinators, raffle ticket sellers and all of you who came along and supported the event, our race sponsors and companies who donated prizes. This has been our biggest event organised and biggest amount raised for a much deserved charity, the CF Trust.
