Fun Run Thanks! We had lovely weather for the Great Midlands Fun Run on Sunday and we all enjoyed the challenge. This is always a big day for Spice. We had a big team of runners, walkers and joggers competing plus a team of volunteer marshals assisting the event. Spice are also supporting sponsors of GMFR as we feel it fits so well with the Spice ethos of people of all ages, abilities and walks of life taking on a fun challenge. Our charity this year was the Young Persons Ward at QE Hospital where we provide the little extras that make such a difference to teenagers and their families when facing a life threatening illness. Thanks to all of you who helped to make Sunday such a success – whether as a runner, a marshal or by your sponsorship. We will be doing the same again on Sunday 31st May 2015, so keep the date clear. Oh, and congratulations to our fastest Spicer (again!) this year, Martin Wall, who got home in 63 minutes!
