Team 856

We set up TEAM 856 which brings runners male and female together to help raise awareness and funds for the foundation. While inspiring each other to run, give each other tips and meet up for runs. The team has grown and running buddies and friends have been made. 
The team have raised over £14,000 from sponsorship at running events.
We have a team of 60 runners taking part in the Kings Lynn Gear 10k this year. Hoping to raise £1500 to fund three months of mens time sessions.
