As we enter the 'ber months and it's getting a little cooler, the trees are turning and the nights are drawing in, what nicer way to bring in the autumn with a nice cuppa and some inspirational people. Take five and catch up on all things fundraising.
Boxing and skydiving for Henry
Thank you to Jamie and Martin who took to the ring against each other in honour of a very special boy called Henry who has an MPS condition. They raised £5,535 and their fundraising did not end there. On 1 August they took to the skies to jump 10,000 feet to end a very epic fundraising challenge. Thank you so much to you both for all your efforts in supporting the MPS Society, and well done on your amazing fundraising - it is mind blowing!
Ed's half marathon
Ed Fox ran his heart out at the Battersea Half Marathon last weekend in memory of his family friends' children who had an MPS condition. He stepped his way into raising £685 for the MPS Society and we would like to say a huge thank you and congratulations on completing this challenge for us. We look forward to having you back in the future.
The Cooling's footy and family stride
Thank you so much to Richard Cooling and his family who organised their annual charity football match in honour of their brother and son, Jonathan. They raised an amazing £2,215 and went on to do the family stride at the end of August raising a further £727. Thank you so much for your continued support, we appreciate all that you do for us!
Snowdonia challenge
Thank you so much to Liz and her fabulous family who took on Snowdonia in July all in honour of Henry's Smile. After taking the harder route, they reached the summit. We can't thank you enough for taking on this very difficult challenge raising vital awareness and funds for Henry and the MPS Society.
Wycombe Wanderers FC
A big MPS Society thank you to Wycombe Wanderers FC for having us on 5 September and to the supporters who were so kind and generous. We raised a fantastic £443.61 which will go such a long way in helping families affected by rare and life-limiting rare conditions.
Mini Avengers
A massive Mini Avenger thank you to Jessica, Ruby, Harrison and William for raising a magnificent £525. Well done team for challenging yourselves over the summer holidays completing a mile a day your way.
