September has been an absolutely amazing month for #TeamAD!
Mudder in memory of Thomas
The start of September was a muddy one! Adam and Conor took on the Tough Mudder Classic 10 miler on the 3rd September in memory of their friend and brother Thomas Mickleburgh.
Jaguar Landrover get muddy
Team Jaguar/Landrover Ian, Simon, Joe, Jamie, Kieran & Jon took on the Tough Mudder Classic Northwest on 4th September.
Dr Gavin’s 362 mile run
On the 6th September Dr Gavin McAteer set off on his epic running challenge. He ran an astonishing 362 miles from Mizen to Malin Head in 6 days, on foot! It was a beautiful sight to see people running with him in Derry.
World Duchenne Awareness Day
7th September saw World Duchenne Awareness Day, with two schools arranging events. Nocton and Dunston Schools held a bake sale and Kineton C of E Primary School had a dress-down day!
Live cabaret for WDAD
The evening of the 7th saw a special Facebook Live concert by the absolutely spectacular Rebecca Bond, especially for Dan Ball and his family. Rebecca, we look forward to you singing for us again in the future!
50km Thames Path Ultra
On the 11th Stephen celebrated his 50th birthday in style by the Thames…not relaxing but taking 50km on the Thames Path Ultra!
Great North Run
On 12th September Martin, Sasha, David and Claire made us proud by taking on The Great North Run and totally smashing their fundraising targets. It was lovely to hear that two of them had bumped into each other during the run!
Oliver’s Gelt Gladiators
On the 18th September Oliver’s Gladiators, Alix, Gen, Sarah, Gill and Emily, took on the GELT assault course, and they arose triumphant! We wonder what they are going to take on next…
