Friday 2nd July - Odd Shoe and Wacky Hair Day
On Friday, 2 July 2010, school children around the County can support Martha by making a £1 donation in return for going to school with odd shoes and wacky hair. They could wear a trainer and a welly or just two different shoes – and who knows what can be done with a pot of hair gel! Teachers could also take part to make the day even more memorable! |
|
| If you know a school who might like to take part, please contact Martha on 01304 610448 or email our fundraising team. |

| 25th April - Virgin 2010 London Marathon |
|
|
|
| Nick Pullen, Martha’s first time Marathon runner and long-time supporter has conquered the Virgin London Marathon. |
|
| Despite a turned ankle around mile 5, and all the usual agonies of screaming muscles and exhaustion, Nick managed an impressive time of just 3 hrs and 37 mins, well ahead of the average marathon running time of 4 hrs 30 mins. Even more importantly for Martha, however, Nick has raised a fantastic £3,000 towards our work. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| In his final blog, Nick summed up his feelings about running the marathon in a quote from Sir Edmund Hillary: “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves”. And in a thank you to everyone who sponsored him, Nick added: “You have helped me to raise £3,000 for the residents of Martha Trust who have to daily climb their own mountains.” |
|
| Our heartfelt thanks to Nick Pullen and a request to anyone who may have a Marathon place for 2011 to consider running for the Martha Trust. |
|
