Get Danny Home
One of our club members, Julie, is going through a devastating time.
Julie & Nigel’s son, Danny, has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. He has spent over a year in hospital and Julie has been by his side the whole time.
In order to bring Danny home, the family need to sell their house and buy a property that can be adapted for Danny. Because of the need of a bigger home, there is a shortfall and they are fundraising so they will be able to afford this.
F&WRC has always been more than a running club; we like to think of our club as a community and a family.
As such, we have chosen this cause as our Club Charity of The Year 2024.
We hope you will help us in supporting Julie, Nigel, Emily, Charlotte & Danny.

Ben Smith from the 401 Foundation
