HUGE congratulations to Stephen Hodgson, who completed the Reading half marathon on Sunday, with a fantastic time of 1hour, 33 minutes and 30 seconds! Stephen put in a great deal of training and was determined to not only achieve a fantastic finishing time, but also to reach his goal of £1000 in sponsorship for ATE. He has already beaten this target having currently raised £1052.75 (including gift aid), but it’s not too late to donate to support him (via the link below) if you haven’t done so yet!

Stephen explained his reasons for supporting ATE. ‘I have seen the children smile when they receive their one meal of the day by attending school. I have seen the adults smile when they are supported in starting a small business so they can feed their family. I have seen the smiles as people are liberated from the isolation caused by disability.’
Still going strong at the 4 mile mark!
ATE is extremely grateful for Stephen’s hard work, determination, and the difference that this has and will make for so many people we are working with in Lawra and the surrounding area.
