Runner’s Boost to Local Charity
Forest of Dean born Chris Reeves has donated £3,280.50 to local childrens charity The Pied Piper Appeal this month which he raised in sponsorship for completing the London Marathon in April.
“It is one of those huge achievements in life, which you can say you have done that, maybe only once, but you completed the London Marathon!” Chris explained. The Pied Piper Appeal’s aims are close to his heart as he has a young daughter himself and friends all have children who may benefit from the work of the charity. “This is a local charity and I can see how the money I raise will help, maybe even help families I know in my community.”

Chris has raised £3,280.50 sponsorship wanted to thank a few particular local companies who have supported him “I would like to say thank you to Forest of Dean Tyres, which is where I work, Continental Tyres, Vredestien Tyres, H & N Bounds Transport and Pete Smith Car Sales.” Said Chris, who has been surprised and honoured by all the support everyone has given him in his challenge of a lifetime.

PIED PIPER SAVES SCHOOL BUSES
On Wednesday 23rd April The Pied Piper Appeal stepped in to rescue The Milestone School, Gloucester. The handover of two brand new minibuses at the School came just days before their old vehicles were to be taken off the road.
The School, unable to afford replacements, turned to Pied Piper when they learned that their 15 year old minibuses were set to fail their MOT. New vehicles are essential if the School’s 280 special educational needs children are to continue to enjoy a full range of activities. As a result of Pied Piper’s support, riding for the disabled, day trips, swimming, work experience and many essential curriculum activities are no longer under threat.
Headteacher, Lyn Dance, says “Pied Piper has saved the day. Without their very generous help we would have been forced to cancel our summer residentials These provide a great experience for the pupils and a valuable respite for their families.”
Pied Piper’s Chairman, Roger Head, adds “We are committed to helping local children both in the community and in hospital. So it was a delight to make this gift to the School which greatly benefits children throughout the county.”
