Look Who's Fund Raising
Rednet Golf Pro-Am in aid of Stick 'n' Step
Freddy Valenti is the PGA golf professional at Pryors Hayes Golf Club. He is hosting the March 2009 Rednet Golf Overseas Pairs Pro-Am with all profits raised going to Stick 'n' Step. Freddy ensured that the 2008 Stick 'n' Step golf day at Pryors Hayes was a huge success. It was at this time that he learnt all about our work and was so impressed he decided that we should receive the profits from his event. Thanks Freddy! (If you would like more information, please ring Freddy on 07971 928939.)
The Burntwood have a fun run
The Burntwood pub did us proud yet again. The latest venture being a fun run, but by all accounts, it was pretty hard!!
Peter, David, Richie P, Neil, Barry, Gaz, Richie and Martin wore their Stick 'n' Step t-shirts with pride (pictured above). They managed to successfully complete the fun run and gather lots of money along the way. Thanks lads!!
Angus does the Ironman Challenge
One of Ellis's friends came up with the idea of doing the Ironman Challenge. For those who have no idea what it is, you are not alone!! It starts with a 2.4 metre swim. If that's not enough, it's then a 112 mile cycle ride. Tired yet? Don't be, because then comes a full marathon, yes, a 26.2 mile run.
You have to do the training to succeed, and Angus did just that. Back in the Summer, Angus and friends set off to do their best. They came back victorious, together with a huge cheque. Angus decided to give his money to Stick 'n' Step and we are eternally grateful. Angus is pictured below handing over the cheque to Lara, Ellie and Nora. Thanks Angus, you are our Ironman!!
Sam's Ball is another huge success
Neil and Jill's Ball's just get better and better. The venue (Formby Hall Golf Club) has been completely renovated and looked stunning. Several Show Girls greeted guests as they arrived and then entertained us whilst we had a pre dinner drink. It was another sell out. Neil, with the help of Willie Miller the comedian, ensured that everyone dug deep throughout the auction. The bids rolled in and a huge amount was raised yet again. Thank you Neil and Jill.
The money is now in and Sam and brother Jack took Bruce Grobbelaar along to Formby Hall to receive the cheque. A staggering amount was raised which Formby Hall were pleased to pass on.
Thanks again to all involved in the event.
Hannah's mum conquers the Great White
Hannah's mum Tracie successfully treked up Mount Kilimanjaro having left on January 19th 2009. Standing 5,895 metres tall, Kilimanjaro proved to be a huge challenge to Tracie and friend Mark. But they were not going to be beaten. After treking for days, they finally made it to the top. It was a great deal quicker on the way down!! Before she left, Tracie set up a Just Giving account. www.justgiving.com/tracielaithwaite She still receiving donations having successfully returned. Please click here to see Tracie's summit pictures. Thanks so much Tracie, having seen the pictures, it looks like it was a trip of a lifetime!
