Well done to everyone who took part in the first ever Gateway Fun Run/Walk. We had over 60 people join us. Most had come through the Health Trainer and Lighten Up service, volunteers came from the Cardio-Rehab programme too. The sun shone and everyone completed, at their own pace.

    I’ve been hearing some fantastic feedback on the run this weekend. From the invigorating exercise warm up to the high volume of enthusiastic participants, we all say a big “well done” Richard and all those who supported him to make the Gateway Fun run such a great success.
