Sunday 7th September They did it! Jules finished in 62 minutes shaving 18 minutes off her target time and that was after a recent operation! Ross finished around 52 minutes despite his limited 4 weeks of training and a curry and beers the night before! With giftaid donations have exceeded £1000, however you can still donate! This page is open for donations until the 6th November. Suzi and her family want to say a special thank you to all those of you that have donated and supported their charity and of course a massive thank you to the two road runners! As for hoppy....... her crutches had miraculously disappeared on the day....! With a week to go donations with giftaid are up to £929.74 for online donations. Only £70.26 to go and we can hand over £1k to Suzi and her family towards the memorial wall. Can you help us please?
News Update! Unfortunately Jo (Hoppy) fell down a hole whilst training with Jules, dove across Aldershot Park like Peter Shilton and is now laid up with a sprained ankle which is changing colour every day! Ross, is going to replace her and act as the Hopkins representative. A big thank you to him!
A real passion and zest for life…… Last year our friend’s brother, Chris Parratt, tragically died when he fell whilst climbing down Tryfan, in the Snowdonia National Park, with his wife and dog. Chris was an adventurer and he loved doing a variety of sports from snow boarding, wake boarding, kite surfing and mountain biking to name but a few. He was a very special man who loved the outdoors. He had endless amounts of energy and a real passion and zest for life. A Memorial dedicated to Chris In memory of Chris, our friend Suzi and her family have set up the Chris Parratt Foundation. The Chris Parratt Foundation has committed to raising £50k, on behalf of national children’s charity, Over the Wall. This wonderful charity is dedicated to helping the UK's most seriously ill children to enjoy fun, friendship and fulfilment at residential camps across the UK. The money raised will purchase a 40ft-climbing wall to be installed at a new purpose built complex for Over The Wall in the Midlands later next year. The wall will then be dedicated in Chris’ memory - something that would make Chris extremely proud. Our target We are keen to support the Chris Parratt Foundation and most importantly show Suzi and her family our support. We aim to raise a minimum of £500 by completing a 10k run in September in London's Regents Park. It certainly won't be easy and at present we can just about limp a mile and half before collapsing gasping for air! So this is going to be a real challenge for us both. How can you help us? We are asking that you help us achieve our target by sponsoring us for the race and by showing your support to the Chris Parratt Foundation. We need your help! Love Jules & Jo x x x x --------- Remember! If you are a UK tax payer, under the Government’s Gift Aid scheme, Over the Wall can claim the tax you have already paid on your gift. This means that your donation can be increased by 25p for each £ you donate, at no extra cost to you.
