Running to make a difference

Team HOTC

On Sunday 21st September fourteen people set out to run the Bristol half marathon to raise money for the Heart of the Community project.  A mix of church members and a few friends and family, some of whom had  little previous experience of running distances.  Everyone completed the course; the fastest time was 1:31:49. Seven people did it in under two hours, and seven did it in between two and three hours.  

Congratulations to all of them! Thanks to their efforts a total of £4,868 (without gift aid) has been raised so far.  And there is still time to donate. Let’s see if we can make it £5,000!  If you’d like to chip in simply go the the online giving page and click to donate.
