We Did It!! Running For XP!

Andy Sprakes

On Sunday 23 March, Andy Sprakes, Michael Sprakes and Marc Voltaire ran the Sheffield Half Marathon to raise funds for our upcoming Music and Arts Festival in July 2025. In spite of the fact that the Sheffield Half Marathon is one of the toughest road races in the UK, I’m pleased to say that we all completed the race and had a great time doing so. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who sponsored us, your contributions will help to pay for transport for our young people to attend the Festival and to subsidise some of the professional artists who will work with our kids in the coming months!! So far we have raised a whopping £528 – thank you. If you would still like to contribute the Just Giving page will be live for a few more days here In Crew, always Andy Sprakes
