More money for cancer charities



13 Dec 2011

 Just a postscript to the earlier post about Marc Rowland's wonderful fund-raising half-marathon in Thailand, when he raised around £1,000 for  two charities nominated by friends who'd been diagnosed with cancer.

Marc has just been to give a talk at Grove Primary School in Handsworth, Birmingham. He addressed the assembly and told the pupils about his run and about Thailand. He then received cheques for the two cancer charities he was supporting: Star Throwers (my choice) and The Royal Surrey Appeal. Each was for £397.

 So a big Christmas-time thank you to the children of Grove Primary for their exceptionally generous donation.

Hi Mike

I think this makes the total raised at around £2200, which is great!

Thanks again to all the children at Grove School!
