Well done Richard.
For those that missed our recent social media posts re our very own Richard Ennis and his entry into the weekends Birmingham Half Marathon (original posting included below) Well he did it, and in his fastest time yet!
Congratulations from all of us.
Includes a thank you from Richard below;
Thank you to everyone who sponsored me.
I am very pleased to say that I got round in 1:47:39, which knocked another 1:01 off my previous personal best.
Once again, many thanks.
Richard
It is not too late if anyone else wants to contribute.

Hello and welcome to the weekend. Let’s hope it’s fair one especially on Sunday 16th as our very own Richard Ennis is running the Birmingham half marathon again!
Here’s a snippet of his recent email to us all here at Rees Page – sums it up better than I could.
“Now Genes for Jeans is behind us I can safely get out the begging bowl for another year.
...I am making my 5th stab at the Birmingham Half Marathon on 16th October and am once again trying to raise money for Action Heart and Beacon Centre for the Blind.
Any support is much appreciated.

Alternatively if you let me have details of how much you want to donate then I can collect this manually. If you prefer to support one charity or other then please let me know. If you do not specify otherwise I split them 50-50. If you are a UK taxpayer then if you are happy to Gift Aid this means the charity gets an additional 25% at no extra cost to you. To do this I will need your address and postcode.
As always, many thanks – your generosity in previous years has touched me and has been very much welcomed by the two charities.
Regards
Richard”
Well we all wish him well and the very best, especially on his time.
(I’m exhausted just thinking about it!)
