A huge thank you to Anderson parkrun for letting us fundraise at today’s run! We raised an awesome $301.70 kindly donated by all the runners and volunteers 🚒👏

It was lots of fun for the crew members running in gear and not and plenty of entertainment for those collecting donations/ watching the ones in gear suffer 😅

Amazing effort from everyone involved, and we really appreciate all the support from the runners and community.

Last up we have Mark Cadwallader 👏

• First time… and probably last 😂
• Fundraising goal: $2,000
• Climbing goal: Make it to the top

We love the honesty on this one but we’ll be backing him all the way! 💪
If you see Mark out and about, make sure to give him some encouragement (he might need it 😅)

Let’s help him smash that fundraising goal 👇
