Didn’t they do well
In case anyone hasn’t heard that catchphrase enough in the last week, we make no apology for giving it one final airing when it is so amply deserved by the doughty dozen of the GM Fundraising Paddle2Pedal team. As well as completing the final stretch of their marathon on Saturday, they have now seen the tally of donations top the £90,000 mark and are now urging all who have not yet given to join one final burst and make it £100,000 before the handover.
We will no doubt be hearing more details in the days to come but for the moment we will just share with you their finishing photo and of course the link for anyone who wants to help them towards that final six-figure target. Read Story
Do enjoy this week’s issue.
