Ann-Marie Aston from The Wilkes Partnership, Rob Tonks and Chris Plester from GoodGym Solihull, Nick Salter who is a Winter Warmth Volunteer and a member of Knowle and Dorridge Lions, and Rory Dunne who is a staff member's relative, all braved the wet weather and ran 11 miles through Birmingham City Centre, Edgbaston and Bournville.

Sponsorship money is still coming in, but to date, the five of them (and a sixth who unfortunately was unable to run on the day due to an injury) have raised £1,751 which will help us to provide our services for local people who need us.

The runners all made excellent time, each finishing in under two hours. Rory and Ann-Marie have both already signed up for their next half marathon!

A huge well done to all of our runners, and thank you for choosing to support us!
