Are you Ready to Run the Culture Gauntlet?  
Post event update: On Saturday 10th October something quite extraordinary happened, all because of you! We succeeded against all odds, in achieving our fundraising target of £1500, because you cared enough to make it possible. Thank you (to those present and absent) for supporting me and the sick children's charity, WellChild. Your donation, will make a world of difference and enable them to continue their amazing work. I hope you all had a really great time and are enjoying the fabulous prizes many of you walked away with!
