5th March update £713

Thank you to all members who have sponsored Maria Mullin to run in the London Marathon in April to raise money for Dementia Revolution.

So far you have raised £713 to help fight this dreadful disease.

She will be running in memory of her grandad George who was a member of our U3A for many years before he died.

If you would still like to help you can donate online here. For offline donations please see Wanda & Brian Leach at Tuesday coffee mornings.
