There are two people running the Yorkshire marathon to raise money for Sunshine and Smiles this weekend. We’d like to wish Christopher Power and Sarah Campbell the best of luck as they take to the streets of York on Sunday.
Christopher is running to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support and Sunshine and Smiles. Both charities mean a lot to Christopher and his family, and the funds he raises will be shared between them. You can make a donation and help Christopher reach his marathon fundraising target here: https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/yorkshire-marathon
Sarah runs Time Tok dance school, which two of our Sunshine and Smilers attend. She set herself the challenge of running the marathon for her 40th birthday and says the charity is very close to her heart. You can sponsor Sarah here: Support Children with Down Syndrome in Leeds
Thank you both so much for thinking of us and good luck on Sunday!
