| A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR OF BRENTWOOD |
The Mayor of Brentwood, Councillor Mark Reed, finished his charity walk at the Brentwood Centre in style on Wednesday evening (11th May).
Supported by the staff at the Brentwood Centre throughout the twelve hour "marathon" Mark raised over £1000 for local charity SNAP.
Mark undertook the twelve hour walk (half an hour on, half an hour off) on a treadmill in the foyer. The alternate half hours were sold off at £50 a slot to raise money for SNAP, Special Needs and Parents.
Mayor of Brentwood, Councillor Mark Reed, said: "I cannot thank everyone enough for their support. So many of the staff at The Brentwood Centre helped me, especially Roger Davinson, Nicky Smith, Neil McAllister and Mark Walmsley, I could not have done it without them. On the day, the passing visitors were so generous adding nearly £250 to the thousand pounds already raised.
It was a real endurance test but everyone made it so much fun, and the team from SNAP coming down to support us after they had finished work was the icing on the cake. I would love to collect £200 more to bring the total up to £1500 donation can be made by searching online for 'Justgiving SNAP Mark Reed' or by following this link https://www.justgiving.com/ |
