A big thank you to Katie Edwards and all those who took part in the charity Spinathon at LA Fitness Northfield in Birmingham. The event was a great success and has raised over £1500 for the Association. It certainly looked like hard work but well done to you all.
A big thank you to all of you who support the Association every day by raising funds, provide assistance at events and help us get our name and services out to those who need it.
Special thanks to a couple of recent fundraisers on our Justgiving pages. Rosie Nagle recently walked up the three highest peaks in the UK and has raised over £1,000. Thanks also to Shaun Benfield who competed in the Ironman UK event and raised over £500.
So, if you’d like to support our supporters or would like to raise sponsorship yourself, visit our Justgiving pages.

Thank you to Kevin and Barry Wilkinson who have again been raising funds and awareness for the Association. In December 2005 they took part in the Grim Challenge, a gruelling 8 mile off-road challenge. You can visit their website atwww.stacey-louise.co.uk.
