Well done Rachael!🏃🍰⭐
When Rachael agreed to run the London Marathon for Autism East Midlands, she hoped to reach a target of £1500 for our charity.
She's absolutely smashed it already, raising £2,284 with donations coming in!
Rachael has also hosted painting evenings and sold cakes to support her fundraising efforts.
In the lead up to the London Marathon, she has (along with training runs totalling almost 400miles so far this year)...
⭐ Ran for cake, a 20 mile race in February
⭐ Completed the Welsh Marathon
⭐ Ran the Stevenage half marathon on Easter Monday in just over 2 hours!
We're truly humbled by her efforts (and those cakes look absolutely gorgeous!)

Wandering around Wollaton Hall ⭐
Neil and Jack from our Bolsover supported living service to take in the sights of Wollaton Hall, where there was lots to see and do with plenty of space to walk and enjoy the scenery.
We're so proud of them for stepping out of their comfort zones and taking the chance to experience something new.
