Amazing news has come in this week from our own Dan McArthur ...
"On the 20th of December, 2024, I am going to run around Westminster School's senior ovals. The catch - I'm going for 24 hours, trying to get as many laps as I can in the process. The goal is to raise money for MarionLIFE, who are a non-for-profit charity organisation based right in the community of Marion, who have provided care for people in need in the local community since 1985. MarionLIFE operate under the belief that every individual deserves care, hope, and the opportunity to thrive. This Christmas, they are reaching out to us for help. With the increase in demands for their services, they need our support to continue making a difference in the lives of the amazing members of our community."
So come down and join us for a full-on Friday! If you can't support Dan's efforts financially, then show your support by popping by and cheering him on!
Friday 20 December, 8am
Westminster School Oval, 1/23 Alison Ave, Marion
