Royal Exchange barmaid Tracy Leese and fellow players from Holditch Ladies FC, Chesterton, braved horrible weather conditions on Sunday 11th December to raise funds for the Douglas Macmillan Hospice, which cared for Cherryl during her last few weeks.

The run has so far raised a massive £4,000 for the hospice. You can help to swell this even further by visiting the football team’s Run For Cherryl page and donating.
