79 at School, Climbing Everest & Running 10K!

Creating Better Futures reached a huge milestone on Tuesday this week. It came as a great surprise to us all, but we have managed to send 79 children to school for the next term!!! This is absolutely fantastic news, and we will provide an update soon as to how the children are getting on. The boxes which were mentioned in our previous post are now having to be delayed in being dispatched until we get the funds required.
 
Last weekend was also busy and exciting for the team as we had our Conquering Everest and Woodley 10K as our two fundraising events. We are pleased to announce that we reached our target and managed to climb the height of Everest in just under 8 hours. Much fun was had on the day by everyone involved and we greatly appreciate everybody's efforts on the day.



The Woodley 10K was also a huge success and everybody crossed the finish line in good time. On both events we also had a 'Name the Teddy' competition, and congratulations to Tommy who won and took home a new friend!




Lastly, thank you to everyone who donated on these two occasions. From both events we have raised around £1,000! If you would like to fundraise for us we are now set up on  Charity Giving which makes collecting funds easier. If you need a fundraising pack or sponsorship form, visit our website.
