Friday 4th October saw the official launch of Team Run 12. The team invited friends and family to the Burlesque Suite in Mu Mu Bar, Maidstone to celebrate the beginning of their marathon and fundraising journey for Breast Cancer Care and Cancer Research UK.
From 8pm, guests filled the room and danced, drank and partied right through until 2am. To say the event was a success would be a huge understatement; this is reflected in the significant amount of money raised towards the team's £25,000 fundraising target…. £1143.92!
The team are extremely grateful to everyone who has shown support for our cause so far. Having all been together for the first time on Friday, Team Run 12 were slightly overwhelmed to see a room of people in awe at the challenge they are taking on.
Becky, running all 12 marathons said, “It’s started to sink in that we have a lot of hard work to do but having finally been united with the team tonight, I couldn’t imagine a better group of people to share this experience with. We’ve had lots of champagne tonight to celebrate and I’m positive there will be at least 12 more celebrations in 2014!”
