On Saturday the 30th of July Glaramara had some special visitors to the centre. Ivan, Nadine & Seb Hollingsworth came to stay after a marathon of a day! The Hollingsworth’s have set up a charity called Seb4CHUF in aid of the children’s heart unit at Freeman’s hospital in Newcastle a place where there son Seb has been a patient. Ivan along with some friends and collegues including tv star Ben Shepherd were in the midst of a hefty challenge for the cause. They had already cylced Coast to Coast in 2 days and on the saturday had run a marathon+ (28 miles) from Whitehaven to Keswick. They arrived at the centre tired and hot but a quick dip in the river and a cold drink soon perked them up. The group had dinner and stayed overnight at the centre only to depart in the morning for Keswick to start another marathon of a day. We are happy to report that they reached Tynemouth on Wednesday afternoon after completing the 7 day cylce and run for a great cause.
