Steve Basham ready for 2014 race
Although all competitor places have been quickly snapped up, if you would like to take part you can come and cheer the competitors along. Steve is hoping to beat his last years time of 1 hour 36 minutes. Better still, you could help us raise money for SeeSaw by sponsoring our runners (see the links below). The MGroup are staunch supporters of SeeSaw. Described as the great little charity with the big heart, SeeSaw depends on the generosity of individuals and organisations to support their services. One third of bereaved children can experience severe difficulties coming to terms with the death of a close family member. SeeSaw supports children at this critical time, so that they can move forward and face the future with hope. SeeSaw’s service includes tailored grief support for children, guidance and support to families, advice and training to professionals and accessible literature and resources.
