Donation to Disability Challengers from Alice Holt Races fund

Although Farnham Runners do not aim to make a profit from the staging of the Alice Holt races, the popularity of the event resulted in more runners than ever this year which resulted in a surplus. Race director Andrew Ellison was pleased to be able to donate a cheque for £1000 to Lucy Sharma, community fundraising manager for Disability Challengers in Farnham.

In addition to this £1000, the club also donated money to Great Ormond Street Hospital, on behalf of Frensham Heights, and the Scouts, after both groups helped out at the event.
