Claviga Celebrates 10 years!

2007 marks Claviga's 10th birthday and to celebrate this milestone we are raising GBP 10,000 for an international children's charity

.

Children in Crisis is a wonderful charity that works in 10 countries to provide educational opportunities as a route out of poverty for the world's most vulnerable children and their families.

Worldwide, one in six children does not have access to an education. Children in Crisis is working to change this. With the help of supporters they are able to offer these children the hope for a better future and the opportunity to live positive healthy lives. To find out more about their work, click here.

We've done it...

Passing the time with Old Father Thames

We’ve done it - 50 km - and all survived to tell the tale.  We started at The Riverside Inn on the banks of the Thames in Lechlade at 9.15 am on Thursday 28 June and finished at The Cock and Camel in Oxford at 4.00 pm on Friday 29 June.  

The rain stayed away most of the time and unlike many rivers in the UK at the moment, the Thames wasn’t in flood so, despite the muddy fields, long wet grass and large puddles, we stayed mostly dry. 

Saffy (Sue’s Golden Retriever) ran probably an extra 20 km but seemed to love every minute of it and gratefully accepted the extra treats she earned.  As for the rest of us, I think we all felt we could have trained a little harder and been a little fitter but we’ll know better for next time …

And the most memorable moment … After 17 miles on Thursday, the distant view of the pub we were heading for.

Thank you to everyone who supported us – we couldn’t have done it without you.
