If you like to get social there is a Facebook event to join and I’m sure everyone would love to see your photos to see how creative you all are. Please share in the Facebook event, Bideford AAC family group or public page using #TwoPointSixChallenge
Important: please ensure any activity taken as part of your daily exercise follows the latest coronavirus instruction, at present we can leave the house for “One form of exercise a day alone or with members of your household” if you see other members of the public stay at least 2 metres (6ft) away.
The Virgin Money London Marathon alone, which should have taken place on Sunday 26 April, is the world’s biggest one-day fundraising event, which raised more than £66.4 million for thousands of charities in 2019. Many of these charities have had to reduce or stop services at a time when vulnerable members of society need them most; thousands of staff have been placed on furlough and many charities will not survive the next few months. Your help and support is invaluable.
