Sponsor Dave in second tough running challenge for the Melton Team Parish Bee Project

An extremely fit member of the St Mary's Church congregation is on the run again to raise money for deserving charities.

In April, Dave Kitching ran 13 miles between churches in the Melton Team Parish and raised around £1,000 for the Team Parish Bee Project.

Now, on Sunday, he is set to face his biggest running challenge yet, the Leicester Marathon.

Dave is asking people to sponsor him and help him raise funds for LOROS, the Leicestershire Hospice charity, and the Team Parish Bee Project, which raises money to send to beehives to villagers in Albania.

Dave said: “I’d really appreciate it if people could sponsor and pray for me in this extreme fundraising endeavour.”

To sponsor Dave, you can give him cash when you see him or you can donate on his JustGiving page at justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dave-kitching-1
