I have 3 boys who became members of Notts Gymnastics Academy 4 1/2 years ago. Since that time we have watched the club go from strength to strength and transform into the successful, prestigious club it is today.

As a member of the fundraising team, I have some idea of how much work goes on behind the scenes to help the club contine to expand and develop, and the team work continuously to raise funds throughtout the year.

I am going to be running the Great North Run in 4 weeks time. This will be my first half marathon and I thought it would be a good opportunity to try and raise some money for the club.

Although there are always new things we need at the club, we are currently trying to raise funds for some new equipment for our satellite club and a number of boys are soon to take part in an International training camp in Portugal, an amazing opportunity.

If anyone can spare a few pennies to support me and help raise some funds for a worthy cause. Any amount big or small would be gratefully received.

Thank you in advance
