Challenge 20

To help celebrate our 20th year, we’re inviting everyone to attempt something with the theme ’20’. We already have people who will: enter 20 Dog Agility Competitions; walk 20,000 Steps around Grafham Water;  donate 20 Pigtails to a Children’s wig charity; read 20 Books; complete 20 Hours of Painting; hold coffee mornings for 20 people… and lots more.

Watch this short video to give you more ideas.

We now have 3 ladies, possibly 4, that are taking part in a Swimming challenge as part of our Challenge 20: Rachel, Laura and Kate.  They’re each swimming 20km/20 miles over the Summer – not all in one go I should add.  Well done, ladies.  Fantastic Challenge.  We look forward to hearing more.

Kerry Evenden is having a Summer concert with her Community Choir on 13^th September so we’ll have more news about that later in the Summer.

Helen Paterson and her customers at the Cherry Tree have recently had a raffle in aid of CLL Support raising over £100.  They have more events planned for later in the year.

A massive thank you so much to all our fundraisers and to those who have donated. Also, a big thank you to those of you who are raising awareness of CLL/SLL. Your support is really appreciated by all of us at CLL Support and our members.
