Thank you to our 2009 team!

On 7 September 2009, our fabulous team of ‘Pink Ladies’ took part in the UK’s largest women-only fun run, helping Refuge to support women and children as they rebuild lives shattered by domestic abuse.

The Refuge team was made up of over 80 runners, including mother and daughter double-acts and groups of friends, and once again a fantastic level of support came from everywoman, the UK ’s leading provider of resources and services for women in business, who recruited over 30 of their members to run for our cause. Thank you to each and every one of our runners – we hope you’ll agree that it was a really fun-filled day!

Our 2009 team raised a fantastic £10,000 for Refuge. We are so grateful to all of our runners and to everyone who has sponsored them – thank you so much for your support for our vital work.
