GAMBIAN KIT APPEAL PROVED A HUGE SUCCESS…

Report by Don Hale.

Steve Forysth’s appeal for any unwanted running shoes and kit has proved a huge success with the first batch of donations delivered to underprivileged young sportsmen and women last week.

The North Wales Road Runner also helped organise the delivery of several carloads and boxes of kit to the Gambian Police Athletic Team who began an urgent distribution to youngsters in readiness for a series of races in their country.

Steve was also able to send back several photographs from different groups who were absolutely thrilled to receive this kit from hundreds of North Wales supporters which included running clubs at Llandudno, Prestatyn, Deeside, Cheshire, Gog Triathlon, to name just a few, plus numerous individual donations, and generous support from many parkrunners across the region.
