DIDN’T SHE DO WELL! – Maureen Ingleton, a member of the Harrogate & District Soroptimists, entered the Great North Run, to raise funds for one of President Nicola Harding chosen charities, the Renal Dialysis Unit at Harrogate District Hospital. The run was on the 10 September 2017 and is the biggest half marathon in the UK and the World, with over 57,000 runners taking part.
Congratulations to Maureen who walked the 13.1 miles in 2 hours 54 minutes and for raising over £700 in sponsorship money for the Dialysis Unit. The money will go towards a very much needed new commercial dishwasher.
Maureen said ‘I was delighted to complete the distance. As well as it being a personal achievement, I was thrilled with the support I received, resulting in so much money being raised for such a worth while cause’.
The cheque was presented to Andrew Cundiff, Senior Charge Nurse of the Harrogate Renal Satellite Dialysis Unit.
The Harrogate Hospital Community Charity came along to support the presentation.
