Thank you to all who have taken part, as over the last few years over £80,000 has been raised for charity.

There are some fund raising events already planned as a few members have signed up to some tough challenges and we have social events happening too.
We can all make a difference to those suffering with an asbestos related cancer and to children with a life limiting tumor.
