We have set up a small sweepstake amongst our friends (and their friends!) who like rugby to predict the quarterfinals, semi finals, final teams and winner of this year's Rugby World Cup. We charged £10 to enter and the winner doubles their money. A simple idea but easy and fun way to raise £170 for this worthwhile cause. Can you think of a way you could do something similar? Let us know and we will post it on here. |

Update: Just to let you know that Ben 'broke the dragon's back' i.e. completed the 380km run,17400 climb in 6 days. It took him just over 86 hours of running, scrambling up and down mountains - Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the Cambrian Mountains and the Brecon Beacons - and he reached the finish on Saturday night within the time limits. A fantastic achievement by Ben, raising £1500 for the Ella Rose Fund. Thank you so much to Ben and to those of you who sponsored him.
Ella's cousin, Ben, is running the Dragon's Back Race, a gruelling 6 day run from Conwy Castle to Cardiff Castle via Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons. He is raising money for the Ella Rose Fund and CALM, a suicide prevention helpline. It is an amazing challenge to run for that distance (380km/236 miles) and for that length of time. If you would like to support him and the Ella Rose Fund by donating please go to Ben's justgiving page. If you can't ' donate at the moment it is worth looking at the website anyway just to see what a feat it is to run the toughest mountain race in the world!
