Sponsored Hell Run & Comedy Nights
On the 10th September Nat O’Brien did the “Hell Run” to raise funds for carers to take a one off break.
The Hell Run it was indeed. Bogs, and rivers, hills and mud.
He has raised over £300. We have purchased 50 tickets to comedy nights (one in November and one in January). We hope that everyone has a great night and benefits from this chance to refresh the batteries.
We will hopefully have some stories from the night for upcoming newsletters.
