Hello again!
We just wanted to say a big thank you for sponsoring us and giving such wonderful support to BASIC. To date, you have helped us raise £1706.14, which is a tremendous achievement. Very well done! You are a star and we, at BASIC, are very grateful and proud of you!
The event was “blessed” with scorching sunshine. Completing the course was challenging in the heat, but knowing your money was bound for BASIC got us to the finish line. We even finished on the same day that we started the race!
Without help such as yours, BASIC would be unable to continue to provide services to people recovering from spinal injury, severe head injury, brain haemorrhage, brain tumour and other brain-related conditions such as stroke and brain cancer – thank you, again! It may interest you to know that BASIC needs £1,000 a day for services and Centre costs so the fundraising cannot stop - and if there is a need for money then there is a possibility that we may enter further events in the future - and that means badgering you for money, so you have been warned!
If you feel full of energy and would like to raise money for us, perhaps you might consider completing one of our overseas challenges. We have a number of wonderful walking treks available or, if you prefer to travel faster, several fantastic bike challenges in some of the most exotic locations in the world! We can even arrange for you to experience whitewater rafting and parachuting (but not at the same time!). Please do not hesitate to contact Andy at BASIC should you be interested.
Next events for the Three Wise Monkeys – a Croatian holiday, walks with the dog and the Great North Run – we’ll leave you to decide who’s doing what! Once again, thank you for your support and we hope to see you soon.
Phil, Mary and Andy
