Big Thank You

A very BIG thank you to all our wonderful superheroes who took part in Aylesbury’s First Superhero event this morning. 110 people signed up, including Mums, Dads, Kids and 12-week-old Ruby and Lily! What a fantastic morning, with some fantastic costumes – everything from Superman, Spiderman, Ben 10, Wonder Woman, bar tender, deep sea diver, Captain America (who zoomed round the course to finish first!) and many, many more. And the rain held off!! Thank you and well done to everyone – our superheroes, super marshals, super local businesses, super volunteers – your help and support will go a long way in helping to raise money for the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, which needs half a million pounds each year to keep essential local services running for families affected by life-limiting illness. See you again next year!!
