ON behalf of the Wessex Autistic Society I would like to take this opportunity to thank all your readers who braved the cold to take part in our very special 10th Somerley run. Raising in the region of £9,000, the fundraising event has gone from strength to strength since its humble beginnings in 2001.
As well as now being the Wessex Autistic Society’s most successful fundraising event of the year, the race has also become one of the largest charity races in the region.
Many thanks to our sponsors Nationwide, Somerley Estate Lord and Lady Normanton, Heart FM, David Lloyd, AECC, Liz Yelling, Rowlands Patisserie, Ade Holloway, Wimborne and Bournemouth Rotarians, Poole Lions and the Army cadets.
The deadline for sponsorship is February 28. Visit twas.org.uk for a full rundown of race times and fun ideas to help increase your sponsorship.
The Wessex Autistic Society has an exciting calendar of fundraising events already lined up for 2011. For further information visit twas.org.uk. Alternatively contact the Fundraising Team on 01202 703597. Thank you for your much-needed continued support.
SARAH BOHN, Community and Events Fundraiser, The Wessex Autistic Society
