Next Sunday 9th September I will attempt to complete the Great North Run half marathon in aid of Local Mencap Barnsley, a wonderful local charity which supports adults with learning difficulties. We have a small intrepid team of five fellow runners including Tim Hobbs, James Webb, Sam Hardy, and Jayne Armstrong. The objective is to raise money to outfit a new sensory room at Compass House, our new building, with all of the latest equipment and facilities. One key piece of equipment is a mobile projection unit which costs £7,000 and I am trying to raise £2,000 towards this. I would really appreciate any contribution however small which you can make. If I succeed in raising the money then it will also mean I have managed to finish the run so an added bonus for those who work with me will likely be a quiet day on the Monday after as I will not have the energy to argue with anyone! Please help me to raise the money for Mencap by hitting the ‘Donate Now’ button and entering your sponsorship. Thanks for supporting me and helping Local Mencap Barnsley.
