Weʼve raised £355 to help CRY - cardiac screening charity which helps diagnose heart defects in 14-35 year olds; & Mid Cheshire All-Weather Sports Track Project
- Sandbach, United Kingdom
- Funded on Sunday, 4th September 2016
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
At 9.30am on Sunday September 3rd I will begin doing 50 laps of Sandbach Park and will continue until it is completed whether I am running, walking or crawling! It is a challenge to replace the now postponed #saltrun2016 to support two great charities.
Every week in the UK at least 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions. CRY supports young people diagnosed with potentially life-threatening cardiac conditions and offers bereavement support to families affected by YSCD. CRY promotes and develops heart screening programmes and funds medical research.
The Mid Cheshire All-Weather Sports Track Project will benefit local schools and the whole community by upgrading the existing gravel-based running surface at Hartford into a high quality tartan track that would meet England Athletic standards.
Thank you to the wonderful people who have already pledged or donated - we are already over half way. It is so easy to donate. Even £5 will soon add up and I want to smash that £500 target!

8 years agoThank you everyone both online and in the salon. Thank you to those who I know and those anonymous donors as I've no idea who you are. I topped up the JustGiving fees (less £1.20*) so that we raised £355 online and £145 in the treatment room making a total of £500 - which was my target!!!! The donation has been submitted to CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young). *£1.20 was from a kind dog walker on the day ;-)

8 years agoThank you to Denise and Anonymous for your kind donations - very much appreciated. Tomorrow is the big day and I'll be doing 50 laps of Sandbach Park - that's over 23km to raise money for Cry (Cardiac Screening for the Young) I’ll be running, walking and possibly crawling and I would love it if you came along to cheer me on, take the mickey, do a lap or two with me or just enjoy the coffee and homemade cupcakes. (9.30am to about 12/12.30pm - fingers crossed!)

8 years agoNews in ..... the #saltrun2016 has been postponed long term due to safety reasons. I am incredibly disappointed and am still working out next steps. Please see my Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/BodyBeautyCheshire/ ) for an update of the situation and what next for the money already raised.

8 years agoAmazing! Big thank yous to Ann, Andy, Julie, R and Jo-Jo. In addition my dad Jack for his £30 pledge in the salon bringing the current total to £245. Thank you for your generosity to the cause and encouraging me to keep going in my training. On the Gift Aid side of things I now know that it is not possible with this crowd funding page. There didn't seem to be any other way to set this up as the money has to be paid to the organisers before the race and it is going to two different causes. Shame really but there it is. Caroline x

I'm 53 and only started running 3 years ago. As a young person I could barely run for a bus and was always second to last in cross country at school. Funny ole world! I'll also be fundraising in my Beauty Salon www.body-beauty.co.uk or Facebook: BodyBeautyCheshire
