Sam raises over £300 for cancer research
Sam raises over £300 for cancer research Earlier this year, our project coordinator, Sam took on the Redditch Half Marathon to raise money for Cancer Research UK. After weeks of training and a few jokes about running in fancy dress, Sam crossed the finish line and raised over £300 for the charity. A brilliant effort for a great cause even if he did skip the fancy dress. Well done, Sam. 👏
