“Simon and I lost our first baby, Noah, to CdLS, so it’s something that is, and will always be close to my heart,” said Victoria. “It was good to do the run and help raise awareness of the foundation and the work it does.”Four ladies and two runs

Marathon effort pays Dividend
Bev Breakwell took on the mammoth challenge of the London Marathon – and raised a cool £1,826 for CdLS.
Bev took part along with friend Charles Maynard, who also ran for CdLS, Charles Maynard who raised a whopping £3946.47.
Both ran alongside Helen Maynard and Jo Crosthwaite who officially ran for Acorns Hospice.
“It was a fabulous day with no injuries to report,” said Bev. “I completed it in 4hours, 57 minutes and 2 seconds - not bad for an old bird.”
Run 5K in Hyde Park with Abby Conlon
Abby Conlon is gearing up for a big run she is helping to organise with mum, Donna. “It’s the 5K Hyde Park Adidas Run on September 11 in London’s Hyde Park and we’re hoping to get 50 ladies to run/walk for CdLS,” said Donna. “We want all 50 ladies at the start-line standing together in the CdLS purple t-shirts to really highlight CdLS and the charity.”
The aim is for each runner to raise at least £250 for the foundation.
Abby, who attends the Adult Education Centre in Guildford, is already in training by walking her two dogs, but Donna might not be able to take part as she unfortunately broke her while walking the Springer, Josh - but she hopes she might be able to walk it.
So come on ladies, sign up and get training.
To register you can go on to The 2011 Adidas Women’s 5K Challenge website; www.womenschallenge.co.uk
It costs £15 of which £5 goes towards CdLS.
Please also email Donna so she can monitor the amount of runners for CdLS and she will also answer any other questions you may have: conlons@supanet.com or telephone: 01483 425864
