Update 25th April £1140
Thank you again to all our members who have so generously sponsored Maria Mullin to run in the London Marathon on 28th April to raise money for Dementia Revolution.

She will be running in memory of her grandad George who enjoyed many happy years in our U3A before he died. So far she has raised more than £2500 altogether and after many months of training she will be joining thousands of other runners raising funds for charities.
