Congratulations Annie

 

Each year the team has welcomed new entrants joining an established group of regulars, some of whom have participated in all 5 runs.  Last year we had 90 entrants and hope we may maintain these numbers this year.  With the present financial climate we will have to work hard to achieve the extraordinary totals we have raised in the past.  Breast Cancer is still very much a harsh reality and the threat of that disease is never far away.
