Striders donate £1062 to The Christie Charity

Sandbach Striders were very pleased recently to donate £1062 to The Christie Appeal. The money comes from the proceeds raised by the very popular track marathon, the Crewe Déjà vu from 2011 and 2012, and also from selling our range of home-made cakes at the Sandbach 10k.
