The Trust’s supporters continue to impress us with their many and varied efforts to raise money for Dom’s Fund. Originally planned for June 2008, The Orwell Walk was cancelled due to torrential rain and eventually took place the following September.
Despite the later than planned start, and fewer walkers due to organisational changes, an impressive £2,000 was raised for the Fund by the walkers and their generous supporters. Amongst the walkers were former Trust Chairman Sir Malcolm Pill and Lady Pill seen here striding out.
Trustee Ian Angus and his wife Margaret did their bit for the walkers by organising a splendid lunch while fellow trustee Gill Garnham walked three times around Alton Water clocking up an equivalent 25 miles and raising over £1,200. T-shirts worn by the Orwell walkers and those undertaking similar fund raising events were kindly donated by Danes Laundry.
Our special thanks go to Ed Cima (left) who tackled the streets of London for a second time running the London Marathon in Spring 2008 and raising further cash for the Fund. Also to Paul Cann (middle) who ran the Bristol Half Marathon in September 2008 and to Eddie Gower (right) Isaac who completed the Half Marathon up the side of Mont Blanc in September 2008. All sterling efforts on behalf of the Fund.
The Trust would like to thank:
Dorothy Kennerley who recently retired as Executive Dean, Faculty of Health, UCS. Dorothy has been supportive of the research funded by the Trust for many years both at Suffolk College and UCS.
