Since we started fundraising in early 2006 we never imagined how much money we would have raised in less than four years. As of September 2009 we have managed to raise over £30000 for Fergus' Angel Fund and his fund at Addenbrooke's Hospital. Thank you to everybody who has donated or taken part in a fundraising event - it really has been astounding how much time, effort and money people have invested.
September/October 2009
The Berlin Challenge - Steve, Bruce and Andy are cycling from Cambridge to Berlin and back. They set off on September 19th and hopefully return on October 9th. They are going to Berlin because this is the place where most SMARD research in the world is happening and it is also the place where the gene fault for SMARD was discovered in 1999 - a massive breakthrough for those families affected by SMARD. SMARD research is also currently happening in Cologne hence its inclusion in their itinerary. Here's a link to Steve's Justgiving site: Click here
September 2009
Womens 5K Challenge - Steve's sister-in-law, Helen, ran the Womens 5K around Hyde Park on September 6th raising money for Fergus' Angel Fund. She was joined by her daughter Hannah, and Angela took part as well. Helen and Angela managed to run round in a very respectable time of 34:29. Hannah sprinted the last bit and finished it in 33 mins. Final total still to be announced.
