Story

All,

So I will be doing my first mini 5k run on the 23rd November, slightly interesting with my dodgy knees and not being on a spin bike.

All donations (100% of the funds) go towards the thrive programme and which supports, children (5-15) & families from disadvanged backgrounds with support over christmas, last year 300 parcels including food, toiletries and essential items.

The programme also supports supplying school unforms, trips, literacy support. Please donate what you can, DJ
