Today our Chair of Trustees and RDA Coach Andy Foote was extremely pleased to go along to Kielder Forest to start Sara Cox off on her Great Northern Marathon Challenge for Children in Need. As Morpeth RDA have received generous funding from Children in Need she was more than happy to accept the invitation to sound the air horn to set Sara on her way.
Upon arrival, having been told there would be a quick interview prior to the start, Andy was quite surprised to hear that the interview would be with Scott Mills and that it would be broadcast live on Radio 2 ! Andy managed to quell any nerves she may have felt to explain to Scott how many children we have been able to help as a result of Children in Need funding.
We are so grateful to Children in Need as without such funding we wouldn’t be able to offer up to 120 children a week what is quite often a life changing opportunity. It means so much to the children to ride with us. We are also very grateful to all the people who volunteer with us as without funding and volunteers we simply couldn’t exist.
