Throughout 2010, MRL has made a commitment to support The Rockinghorse Appeal, a local charity originally set up to champion the building of the new Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton. The charity has since branched out to support a number of different projects in the county, helping improve the lives of children in hospitals across Sussex.
Rockinghorse has continued to raise funds for additional medical equipment. With this in mind, MRL has pledged to raise the sum of £5000 specifically to provide a new incubator for the Trevor Mann Baby Unit located at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.
So far MRL have raised £3036.41
Several members of staff have participated in fundraising activities:
Ryan Cool completed the 300km London-Paris cycle race on 5th September after 3 days of pedalling his booty off. In so doing, he has raised a whopping £1,000 for Rockinghorse.
Jean-Baptiste Norée ran a superb Paris marathon on Sunday 11th April, completing in a brisk 3hr 18 mins!
Formidable, JB - well done!
Emma Wilson ran an incredible Brighton Marathon in 3hr 32 mins and was one of the top 50 runners. The girl just gets better & better.
Leigh-Anne Morrell ran 20 miles of the Brighton Marathon on Sunday 18th April but was forced to retire under doctor's orders due to a trapped nerve - despite her remonstrations! An heroic effort nevertheless.
