Over 100 children and adults of
all ages took part in the Ely Festive Fun Run 6K dash and were met by the
festive man himself Santa Claus, who listened to the their Christmas wishes.
Competitors of all abilities
ran, jogged and walked the course around the historic city of Ely, some with
little or no experience whilst others were dashing for a personal best. The
spirit of the event was to 'take part' not 'winning' to make a huge difference
to the lives of those cared for by Arthur Rank House.
Tasha Auburn, Events Officer at the Charity said:
“We were so delighted to see so many people come out to support the event. The
Fancy dress outfits were brilliant, from giant parcels to Christmas elf’s it
was great to see participants have so much enthusiasm to have fun and raise
funds. We hope the event will raise £3,000 for the Hospice, which, translated
into services, would provide 12 nights of Hospice at Home care and support to
patients living with a terminal illness.”
Michael
Judkins, one of the partners of Archer and Archer, said “we are very pleased to
be the headline sponsor and support the fun run. A number of our staff took
part and as a social occasion the event is clearly going from strength to
strength. The opportunity of warmth, mince pies and mulled wine within our
adjacent office we hope was very much appreciated by all. Archer and Archer are
delighted to be supporting the Arthur Rank Hospice.”
“June
Waggitt from Absolute Sense Independent Financial Advisers said “I enjoyed the
opportunity to take part in a team event and share a fun day outside of the
office. It was rewarding to know that monies had been raised for a
worthwhile local charity and will make a difference.”
A big thanks to everyone who came down to support this year's fun run by running/walking/ or jogging 6k for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, we very much appreciate it!
Thanks is also due for Archer & Archer who kindly opened their doors to sell our mince pies and mulled wine to our cold runners!
