Mitre Races for Life

In January this year, Maggie, one of the beloved members of the Mitre staff, sadly passed away after a very brave battle with cancer.

All the girls in the Mitre wanted to do something to commemorate her memory, so on Sunday 8th May they will be running “Race for Life” at Darley Park in Derby. This is a 5km run starting at 11am and in total there will be 57 Mitre girls and staff running in the race.

They are hoping to raise money in memory of Maggie, and for the relatives and friends of many of the girls who have fought or who are fighting cancer. Their sponsorship page is http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/annaparish2205 and they would be very grateful for any donations to this very worthwhile charity.

So far £1,115 has been raised - the aim is to reach £1,400, the equivalent of £25 for each girl taking part, so please do anything you can to help the girls reach their target!
