Defying gravity colour run
We were delighted to support the above-mentioned special day celebrated by Sherburn Hungate Primary School and to receive the letter detailed below:-
“Last friday was the most special day. It could not have been any better. The sun shone, the prizes were collected, the paint arrived and the colours were all around us. We as a school loved our celebration day to remember Emilia, raise vital funds for her charity and for Therapy Dogs Nationwide who have supported us as a school since February.
Without the support of everyone in this email, the day would simply have not been possible. The gratitude we have as a school to you all can never be matched and due to your time, donations, prizes and general support we have managed to create a special day and raise an incredible amount of money. We are still adding it up now!
To make the day finish in style, the first name drawn out of the raffle was Emilia’s best friend. She chose the two tickets to see Wicked live in London so that she could experience the joy that show brought to Emilia. I believe that someone up there had an influence on that draw!
I have attached a link to a video which shows a little of how our day went, why we did what we did and just a thank you note for all of you to have.
You really helped us show the meaning of ‘For Good’.
I am always going to remember your generosity, as will our school and our charities.
Ben, Niamh and the colour run team”.
