10K follow up

I am please to report here that we all completed the 10k.
I was happy to get round in 1h15m, the others were quicker.......
Through the sponsor forms at the surgery we raised something over £300, which is fantastic... so I thank you all who gave money.
This you will remember was to support Totnes Caring. Through the race organisers Teign Trotters, Totnes Caring have already had a cheque for £750 from the entry fees and so on as well.
The only downside (apart from my not being able to negotiate any stairs for a couple of days) was that some of the sponsorship money collected went missing from the surgery.
We have asked the Police to look into it, so they have been and looked at our CCTV and spoken to a few people, but unfortunately with no result.
We shall therefore offer up a cheque to Totnes Caring based on what we guess the amount missing was on top of the figures we know for certain. As it stands that will be around £350 I think.
It is really gutting to see that money offered in good faith has been taken.
Next time we do any fundraising we shall be certain to make sure stringent measures are in place to protect any donations.
