Thank you to all those who kindly sponsored Charlotte and Matthew, who today completed the Great Eastern Run.... A few blisters, and certainly aching legs!
Between them they raised around £120 which will go half to the RNLI and half to 'Anna's Hope', a very deserving charity that provides support to Children with terminal brain tumours.
Across the Peterborough area, amongst the 4,800 runners, an extraordinary 1,600 young people under the age of 16 came together to run for Anna's Hope, and at the close will have raised enough money to fund 3 full time nurses for the next year.
A reminder, that is all to easily forgotten in this day and age's press coverage, that not all young people are hoodies who live on mugging elderly ladies, and drinking vodka on street corners.
I am very impressed and proud of their acheivement.
Well done you two!
