Local charities had 18,000 reasons to thank runners who took part in February’s half-marathon – that’s how much was donated.
On Monday, April 11, Wokingham Borough Mayor Cllr Parry Batth presented cheques to a number of local charities on behalf of the race which saw more than 2,000 people take part. Beneficiaries included WADE, The Emmbrook School and Daisy’s Dream.
Peter Evans, who organises the event with the help of his committee, hosted the event, held in the council offices at Shute End.
He thanked everyone for attending, for the committee, including his wife Barbara and reflected on the event’s 30+ years.
“We’re immensely proud of what we’ve achieved,” he said.
Cllr Batth also thanked people for coming, added that he was delighted to represent the Council at the event.
