A big thank you to Tim Forster and Beth Gorman took on the Pennine Barrier Ultra marathon this year!

Together, Beth and Tim have raised over £1400 – enough money to send almost 4 families on holiday! We cannot thank and congratulate them enough on this huge achievement – their dedication will ensure fantastic memories and a break away for a family who needs it the most. A big thank you to everyone who donated, your support will be cherished by all of us here at the Trust!

Beth works as a nurse at Bradford Royal Infirmary, and came third in women’s – a fantastic achievement after lots of hard work – raising a total, thus far, of £725!

Beth said,

“I run anyway but I properly started training for the ultra in January and I’ve only ever run 30 miles in one go, so we’ll see how it goes.

So far, just over £600 has been donated and I would like to say thank you to everyone who has donated.”

Every penny raised will go towards offering disadvantaged, disabled and underprivileged children a free, weeklong holiday. This special time will be a safe space to make memories with loved ones and have opportunities they usually might not.

There’s still time to donate to Beth and Tim’s fundraiser here to show your support, love, and encouragement. They deserve it!
