Here at SK, we all really love a good cause and in June we are proud to say that the team are taking part in two different events and raising funds for two fabulous charities.
The first of our two events will be on 15th June when I (Laura) take part in the Macmillan Mighty Hike for the first time ever. I’ll be hiking 26 miles from Weymouth to Wareham along the incredible Jurassic Coast and at the moment I cannot WAIT! Training has been coming along slowly and on this Saturday just gone I finished my distance practice here in Bristol with a 26 miler – I have two weekends left when I’ll be getting some much needed hill training in but otherwise I’m feeling as ready as I can and looking forward to the day. I’ll be walking each mile for a cause which is very close to my heart and thinking of lots of special people to motivate me the whole way round!
The second of our fundraising extravaganzas will then be on 29th June when eight of the girls here (Hayley, Olivia, Maria, Francesca, Rebecca, Hannah, Bridgette and Leah) will be doing the Race for Life Pretty Muddy 5k up on the Downs. An incredible cause also and they are doing a wonderful job of raising money for Cancer Research so far. I’ll be on the side-lines for this one cheering them all along as they brave the 5km obstacle course over A-frames, through mud pits, under the cargo net, through tunnels, down the mud slide…and will be one very proud spectator to see Team SK run over the finish line together!
