For Striders wishing to attend Debbie’s funeral the family are requesting a splash of purple to be worn. If anyone would like a purple ribbon pin - I’m making these and selling them for 50p each with all proceeds going to my Leeds Marathon fundraising for Alice House Hospice where Debbie spent the last few precious hours of her life. Please comment below or message me if you would like to buy 1 and I can bring to club sessions this week Helen J
