Leisure team are colourful fundraisers

Posted onPosted on 21st Sep

Colleagues and members from Lammas Leisure Centre, Sutton, have continued to help a local family create more memories together.

The team ­— Karen Roberts, Amanda Budd, Bryani Russell-Hart, Brandan Staniland, Deanna Housley, Cheryl Hardy, Laura Webster and Shelbie Godfrey — raised £800 for Bobby’s Fund by completing a colour run at Uttoxeter Racecourse.

The money went to four-year-old Bobby Marriott, of Sutton, who is fighting the cancer neuroblastoma.
Bobby and his family visited the leisure centre, which previously gave the youngster and his friends a free play day, to receive the money.

The family hoped to use the donation towards a family holiday.

The fundraising Color Obstacle Rush combined the fun of powdered paint runs, the thrill of a tricky obstacle course and the atmosphere of a music festival.

Paul Blakemore, general manager at the Everyone Active run centre, said: “It’s fantastic to see a team of colleagues and members come together to raise money for such a great fund.

“The volume raised is outstanding and I’m sure it will offer Bobby’s Fund a huge amount of support.”

Diane Marriott, Bobby’s mother, added: “All money that is raised goes towards us making memories together as a family. Every penny counts and we can’t thank those that have contributed to Bobby’s Fund enough since we set it up — and that includes the team at Lammas for their efforts.”
