Fundraising

FirstLight Trust has  some amazing supporters. In particular, these last few months have seen a growing number of people undertaking individual fundraising challenges in aid of FirstLight Trust. This is an update on these fundraising challenges. .

Over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the amazing Liam and his team ran over 100 miles from Hereford to London. Liam set off at exactly 06:12 (at first light) on Saturday from the FirstLight Trust for Veterans – Hereford cafe hub on Broad Street. His team consisted of Chris Bailey (support coordinator at the Hereford hub), Jason Jones (main driver of the back up vehicle), Liam’s Dad, Harry and his step mum Rosalyn.

Liam ran 66.4 miles on Saturday with an overnight stay in Reading. On Sunday Liam ran a further 42.4 miles arriving at his destination in London at 20.23. What a fantastic achievement!
