In aid of GDA 10 On Sunday 1st October, GDA supporter, Alison Thomas joined thousands of other runners for the 2017 Cheltenham Half Marathon. Alison's fundraising efforts meant she raised over £520 for GDA. Before starting her training for the half marathon, Alison had never run before, not even a 5k, so to complete the 13.1 mile course in a time of 2hr 11 minutes was a fantastic achievement. Thank you and congratulations to Alison. After a hugely successful debut book launch in October 2016, GDA Trustee, Chris Gardner has launched a second book following the footballing achievements of Forest Green Rovers FC. This time, Chris reflects on the team's journey to Wembley and their ultimate success at bringing the trophy home. Once again, Chris is donating all proceeds from the sale of the book to GDA and has already raised in the region of £1,000 . We thank Chris for his continued support. The book 'Triumph at Wembley' is available to buy for £13.99 from GDA. Thanks also to fellow GDA Trustee, Jackie Gloyn who hosted a car boot sale and raised £182, and who also donated items to a Christmas raffle which raised £700.
