Nick's London Jaunt

Nick Hall ran the British 10K London road race in sweltering heat recently in support of Sophie's Appeal.

Nick said,

'I want to get back into running and what better way than to raise money for a charity in memory of a special little girl who was close to my late fathers heart.'

Nick completed the race in a creditable 1 hour 15 minutes.

3 Fire Fighters Cycle from Southampton to Edinburgh in a Day

Three Fire Fighters from Southampton Airport recently took on a challenge to cycle for 999 minutes in aid of two charities; the Fire Fighters Charity and Sophie's Appeal.

Mark Beaudro, Louis Kirchell and Jack Bambrook cycled in hour long relays at an average of over 30km per hour. The team covered a distance equivalent to a journey from Southampton Airport to Edinburgh Airport in the 16 hours and 39 minutes event. Generous donations and moral support from both customers and staff at the airport spurred the team on to complete their task with Mitchell's Restaurant ensuring they were refuelled regularly on their journey!

Over £900.00 was raised from supporters donations and the Airport's own Communities Trust.
