First of our service specific slots complete! This week was for Christie development centre who came out on a chilly morning to cheer John on (photos to be uploaded) which helped him to 10th place out of 120 in one of the toughest UK park runs, but to quote one of the Service Users it was the "best day ever!" and that was only at 10am!

Also attending today was Vicky from Kings mill critical care!
