This week we're celebrating the amazing Lisa, who took on the Flaming June event last weekend! 🏃‍♀️🔥

Well...it started as a 10k! 😂 Lisa told us:

"I decided at 7:30 this morning that 10k wasn’t challenging enough 🤣 so I actually ran the half marathon route instead and somehow made it across the finish line!"

WOW! 🤩 What an incredible achievement – huge congratulations, Lisa! 🎉

Not only did Lisa push herself to complete a half marathon, but she did it to raise funds for Ladybirds Pre-School at Histon Salvation Army, where she works as an Early Years Practitioner and where her own daughter has attended since she was 2 years old. ❤️

Thanks to Lisa's efforts, she raised an amazing £200 to help enhance the pre-school's outdoor area, creating an even more inspiring space for children to explore, learn and grow. 🌱🛝 Lisa says that, "Outdoor play is such an important part of early development" and these funds will help provide "more opportunities for creativity, imagination and physical activity."

A huge THANK YOU and WELL DONE to Lisa for going above and beyond for such a fantastic cause! 👏💙
