Earlier this year we lost our beautiful friend and teacher Laura. She had a huge impact on the lives of everyone she met - and has left a huge gap for so many people. Farleigh cared for her in her final weeks, so Florence and I have decided to do something daft to raise some money and say thank you to them, and to Laura. 

Laura loved to set a ‘LeBeau Challenge’ - some sort of maths challenge to strike fear into all of us. Doing a maths challenge didn’t seem the best fundraiser though. So on 9th July we will be taking part in Splash Out - a 5km run with water obstacles on the way round. It’s going to be messy, quite possibly done in fancy dress, and a good laugh every step of the way.
