***SPONSORED WALK
The Sponsored Walk at Bewl Water on 26th June was a huge success with hot sunny weather. Most did the 7 miles to the ferry whilst the more intrepid did the whole 13 or so miles. Great fun with large numbers taking part. At this stage it looks as if Starfish will benfit from well over £10,000.
***GARDEN SAFARI - SANDHURST KENT
***Despite a few showers a good turnout of people enjoyed the 14 gardens which were on the Garden Safari at Sandhhurst. Yuri Knott's hard work in organising the event was well rewarded by all the appreciative comments from those who took part. Many thanks to all those who helped om the day and contributed so much tasty food. Many people came to know of Starfish for the first time and the event raised over £1500 - a great effort.
***Congratulations to Sophie Knott who ran the Stratford Shakespeare Marathon recently and raised £1102.50 (+Gift Aid of £282.76)
***Congratulations to Katy Pickford and Jason Field running for Starfish in the London Marathon. Katy finished in 4 hours 21 mins and Jason in 4 hours 23 mins. A great effort for both of them who raised over £5000 for Malawi.
Let us know if you would like to raise money in this way for Starfish malawi.
***Would you like to organise a fundraising event to help Starfish? If you have any ideas please contact us.
***7 year old Alex and his friend Tom who organised a cake stall at their school and raised £26.50. A great effort.
***Be like young Ruth who organised a Fashion Show at a family gathering and raised £5.
