Runners Raise Two Thousand Pounds for www.lovestoke.org!
PRESS RELEASE - 15TH JUNE 2009
On Sunday 14th July, seven runners took part in the Potters' 'Arf Marathon to raise
cash for www.lovestoke.org. It was a hot day and all our guys completed the race,
with extremely respectable times!
It is estimated that around £2,000 was raised in sponsorship by these guys and
www.lovestoke.org is so grateful for the effort that every one of them put in. Also,
nine volunteers from www.lovestoke.org acted as marshals around the course, ensuring
everyone went in the right direction! Huge thank you to them all for helping out.
There was plenty of support for them all around the course, with the City Gathering
at Bethel City Church finishing early to go out and cheer on the runners, who
themselves are members of the church. It has come back that the crowd at Bethel City
Church was the loudest around the course!
All in all, it was a great day to be a part of, in any capacity and
www.lovestoke.org is very thankful to the event organisers for allowing
www.lovestoke.org to be involved in such a way!

After the success of our last trip to school in January www.lovestoke.org is off to St. Thomas Aquinas RC Primary School on Saturday 21st February. Volunteers will be giving up their Saturdays to paint the external railings around the school, making it that much more welcoming to the children and parents when they come back after their half-term breaks.
www.lovestoke.org completes projects every month throughout the city. People can request www.lovestoke.org's help by filling in a project request form found on the website. People can also volunteer to help at a project by completing the volunteer application form too.
