Water way to go! Super cyclist Holly Cobb completed an 8.7 mile sponsored bike ride around Grafham Water with her Mum, Diane last October and raised a tremendous £109.00 for Shine. Holly, who is 9 and lives near Papworth, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, she says ‘I did the ride because Shine is a charity close to our hearts, it was for a good cause and my sister, Sarah, has hydrocephalus.’ Great work Holly!
We are family Here at Shine we are privileged to gain support from a few very special families that go to great lengths to fundraise for us. The Thomas family from Melton Mowbray is one such family. Last year Anne, Alan and twin daughters, Lucy and Ella, raised £796 and have raised over £2000
since getting involved. Among their activities the family have been involved in a marathon, a village music concert and Shine’s 2011 Christmas card competition. We really appreciate everything the Thomas family are doing for Shine and look forward to a great 2012 together!
