South Molton Freemasons were recently invited to sponsor the Granddaughter of one of our members as she, along with her fiancé, attempted the London Marathon to raise funds for the
Sue Ryder Foundation
Lizzie and George finally crossed the famous finishing line hand in hand after a gruelling 7 hours on the road. Their hard earned success was made even better by the knowledge that they had smashed their £2000 fundraising Target bringing home the magnificent sum of
£2738.00
The money raised will be donated to the
Sue Ryder Foundation
in memory of Lizzie’s late uncle Steve, whose picture she carried around the course on her backpack
We were delighted this week to receive the following from Lizzie and George…
We, Lizzie (Ann & Rod’s youngest Granddaughter) & George (Lizzie’s newly titled Fiancé) would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those at South Molton Freemasons for their unwavering support and kind donations to sponsor us to complete the London Marathon 2024.
You’ll be over the moon to know we both crossed the infamous finish line in front of Buckingham Palace, hand in hand, after running for 7 hours whilst taking in the sights of London! We are proud to also announce we surpassed our fundraising goal of £2,000 by raising an incredible £2,181 for Sue Ryder in memory of Lizzie’s Uncle Steve.
Thank you once again for all of your kind words of encouragement, memory sharing and cheers from afar, we certainly felt them all on the big day!
Lizzie & George
