On Wednesday, 1 August, Frome Running Club held a fund-raising event for
the charity Dorothy House. Around 35 of the town’s local runners met at
club Chairman Dave Perrett’s house after the usual training session on
Wednesday evening. Dave and his family put on a generous buffet of food,
cake and drinks for the hungry runners and collected donations from
everyone present. In total, the club was able to raise £ 420 for Dorothy
House. “We usually have social meet-up in one of the pubs in town after
training on the first Wednesday of every month,” explains Chairman Dave
Perrett. “This month, we decided to do something different and see if
we could raise some money for a great cause. Dorothy House is a charity
close to the club’s heart, as it is currently supporting a long-standing
club member and friend to many. Because of this, we wanted to do
something to support this fantastic charity, and we’re already planning
further events to raise as much as we can”.
