Alison Gray, Director of Care at St Helena Hospice, said:

“Thank you so much to the four Rotary Clubs of Colchester for choosing to support St Helena Hospice once again with this wonderful donation which will help us continue to care for local people at the end of life and to support their loved ones in grief.

“We are immensely grateful to Rotary members for all their hard work in putting on the Colchester 10k and to all the runners for making it such a success.”

Lucy King, Senior Community Fundraiser at MS-UK, added:

“We are honoured that MS-UK were selected as one of the supported charities for this year’s Colchester 10k and so grateful for the incredible amount of money that has been donated to our charity. 

“As a small independent charity, £10,000 will have a huge impact on the work that we do and will ensure we can continue being there for those that need us most.

“A huge thank you to all involved across the Rotary Clubs in Colchester, who worked so hard to make this year’s event such a great success.”
