Leeds Marathon - Thank you, Emily & Ben

We’d like to give a huge thank you to Emily Drake and Ben Coulson, who both ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon last Sunday to raise money for Sunshine & Smiles!

You can still sponsor Emily and Ben - here are their sponsor links:

Emily: https://localgiving.org/fundraising/EmsMarathonforSunshineAndSmiles/ 

It was a glorious day, and, of course, we had our very own support cheer squad outside 21 Co. in Headingley, clanging cowbells and distributing high-fives to the runners as they passed!

Thank you to Kerry Maule for the cheer squad footage - watch our mini video here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C66eX3Qs9YZ/
