Last issue, we reported on the amazing physical feat being undertaken by two Torch supporters: to run the Bath Half Marathon! Well, we’d like to say a huge congratulations to Becky Leithall and Lydia West for completing the race and an enormous thank you to the pair for raising funds for Torch.
We asked Becky how she felt, looking back at the experience: “Over a month on, I am still buzzing from crossing the finish line of the Bath Half Marathon. The journey in the lead-up to the event was fantastic – challenging myself to keep adding miles to my long runs, and learning to rest when old sports injuries crept back. It was an honour to run for Torch with the logo on my vest, and a massive thank you to everyone who supported us – through prayers, sharing information about the fantastic work Torch does, and of course for sponsoring us. It truly means a lot.”
Becky also shared one of her favourite parts of the event: “One of the most special moments was standing in the starting pen chatting with another runner about the work of our chosen charities, and sharing that the CEO of my charity was there supporting me too.”
As Becky says, our CEO Sarah Dawkins was there cheering the pair on and we asked her what that was like: “It was such a delight to have not one but two friends sign up to run and support Torch. Both of them first came into contact with Torch through me, so it was incredibly encouraging to see friends from my own circle willing to get behind the work in this way. They both ran brilliantly, and it was a joy to watch them take part so well. It was also wonderful to see their friends and family rally around them and raise just over £2,000 for Torch.”
All of the support we receive, whether from those new to Torch or long-time supporters, means so much to us and helps us keep sharing God’s love with blind and partially sighted people UK-wide. As Sarah says: “Friends, taking part in a great event, supporting a great cause that serves a great God. What a Sunday. Thank you to all who gave to support them. I know they were both greatly encouraged by it.”
We’re very pleased to say that Janette Sturgis, our Resource Curator, has been hard at work making some wonderful improvements to our online eShop. Janette shares all below: Client Services received a phone call the other day saying that: “the Christian Living section on the eShop has far too many books to wade through, we […]
