Hi, my name’s Elellanena. I am head of income generation at Eden Valley Hospice in Jigsaw. And we are here today to take part in bikes, boats, and boots. One of our group um at the gym have actually used the charity significantly. Um so I think that feels quite emotive and you know quite personal to us. It’s a fantastic event that this is our third year in doing. So we’re really looking forward to next year. We have got many teams here from different businesses, friends, family, and we’re all here celebrating how much we’re raising for our charity. Today, Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw provides specialist palative care to families, local families who need it most. All of these people here have raised 1,500 per team to make sure that that specialist care continues into the future. We couldn’t do it without people who are willing to challenge themselves. and we are so thrilled that they’re taking part today. It’s been amazing. We’ve had the adventure element who are here coordinating all of the stuff that we do out on the fells and out on the water. Huge thank you to AST, our sponsor, who’s allowed us to use their fabulous venue. And of course, we’ve got a bar and a pub serving us some great pies very, very soon. So, if anybody wants to come and join in an amazingly organized event, come along and we’ll see you next year. It’s the the repercussions of what we do build, you know, memories for other families.
