Running Fundraiser Tara Lepore
A local student will be running 13.1 miles through Tribland in fancy dress to raise money for Meningitis Research Foundation. Tara Lepore, 24, will run a half marathon at the end of March to attempt to raise £400 for the charity. She plans to run through Maxey, Etton, Glinton, Peakirk and Northborough as part of her 13.1 mile (21km) route in the last weekend of March. She is currently on track to raise a total of £3,490 for Meningitis
Research Foundation, a charity aiming to eradicate meningitis globally by 2030. Her final fundraising challenge will be trekking to Machu Picchu in Peru in June 2022. Tara is a psychology student at Nottingham Trent University but is living at home in Market Deeping during the national lockdown.
“I grew up in Etton so thought it would be fun to complete this charity fundraiser in my old stomping ground, The purple tutu should hopefully raise a smile or two when I’m out - please say hello or beep your car horn in support if you see me running through the villages that weekend!” She told the Village Tribune.
