Completed!!! On Sunday 21st September between 9am and 6pm over 60 people walked and ran round Draycote Water, near Rugby, to raise money for Casa Reom. They completed over 100 laps. Amount raised is still to be calculated, but is probably going to be over £2000!!. The weather was brilliant, and all those who came really enjoyed it. Everyone who went round was given a piece of a 100 piece jigsaw showing a Casa Reom dormitory. As the pieces came back the picture got filled in: a very visible reminder of what it was all about.
If you would like to donate your sponsorship money for the event, please go to the JustGiving page: 100 Laps of Draycote for Casa Reom.

Jim Hazell, a member of St. Peters Hersham, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro at the beginning of July 2008. This involved 7 nights in an environment that changes from tropical forest on the lower slopes to temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius at the 19,000 ft summit. Jim has raised £1065 so far!

Marcelle and Victoria did a sponsored silence on Saturday 28th June 2008 from 10am to 6pm. They both talk a lot and so they found 8 hours of not talking a challenge, but they did it. They hoped to raise £500 for Casa Reom, however they raised an amazing £1638 - well done, and thanks for everyone who sponsored them. You can still donate: via their JustGiving page.

Several people from St. Matthew's Church in Rugby went out to Casa Reom on the 2nd June. They were Dawn Leverton, Anne Love, Dave Hopkinson, Ruth O'Connell, and the vicar of St. Matthews, Martin Saxby. Click here to read their web log.
