Senior Clerk, Jo Pickersgill takes part in Great Yorkshire Run for the Yorkshire Young Achievers Foundation
Our Senior Clerk, Jo Pickersgill joined thirty runners to form Team Young Achievers and take part in the Great Yorkshire Run (Sunday 5 September) to raise funds for the Yorkshire Achievers Foundation http://www.yorkshireyoungachievers.co.uk/
The team completed the 10k course to raise funds for the Foundation. The Yorkshire Young Achievers Foundation was founded to mark the 18th anniversary of the Yorkshire Young Achievers Awards, sponsored by McCormicks Solicitors of Harrogate, and raise funds to support young people across Yorkshire.
Runners included former Young Achiever Youngster of the Year, Jack Marshall, ITV’s Yorkshire Calender presenter Christine Talbot, Harrogate and Hotel du Vin manager Nick Lawson.
Foundation Chairman Peter McCormick OBE said “We want to thank everyone who supported our runners. All the Foundation’s fundraising will be used to help young people in Yorkshire and this is a great first step in the right direction”.
If you are still interested in making a donation visit the just giving website http://www.justgiving.com/TeamYoungAchievers/2 . To date the runners have raised £1,410. To see a photograph of the team click here.
