BIG Smiles as Gary completed his Thames Path Challenge fundraiser for The Hunger Project UK covering 50k at quite a speed in only 8 hours and 50 mins. Joined by English National Ballet's Jane Haworth, an Ambassador for the charity, their joint 'Team Hunger' efforts have raised well over £7,000 so far. An amazing effort and a very BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has given so generously thus far! If you would still like to make a donation, their fundraising pages will remain open for the next couple of weeks. Visit www.justgiving.com/Gary-Avis-Challenge or www.justgiving.com/Jane-Thames-Challenge
Gary says "My feet are covered in blisters and my legs are still pretty stiff, but I had such a wonderful time. The atmosphere was terrific and both Jane and I really enjoyed the challenge and thank everyone for their generous financial support and for cheering us along the route and via Twitter etc. Fantastic!"
