We've got an amazing story to share with you! 🎉 Judith Sadler, the incredible mother of our former CEO Ben Sadler, is celebrating her 70th birthday in the most inspiring way—by taking on a 10K challenge hosted by Events of The North around the beautiful Kielder Water on October 5, 2024. And here's where it gets even more exciting: Judith's goal is to raise £70 each from 70 friends and family members in support of Alive and Kicking! Her "70 x 70 x 70" campaign is making headlines, and even legendary Olympian Steve Cram is getting behind Judith's challenge. We'd love for YOU to be part of it by supporting Judith and Alive and Kicking. Every contribution helps us continue our life-changing work using sport to improve the lives of young people across Africa. Here's how you can get involved: Sponsor Judith directly by donating on her JustGiving page . https://lnkd.in/eEh3tzWc Spread the word! Share Judith's story with your friends and family and encourage them to donate. Alive and Kicking is deeply grateful for Judith's efforts and for the incredible community rallying behind her. Let's help her reach her birthday goal and make a real difference together! Thank you for being part of this special journey! #running #fundraising #charity
