Ain't no challenge big enough for the Hales Team
On 13th July, Donna Hurricks, Account Co-ordinator of our Lowestoft branch completed a tandem sky dive with the Red Devils from 13,000 feet. She was free falling for 45 seconds but the experience lasted for a total of 6 minutes. Donna completed the challenge to show support to a friend who is currently serving as a Marine in Afghanistan, in total she raised over £500 for Help the Hero’s.
 
On 16/17th July, Kirsty Parker, Assistant Branch Manager of our Thetford branch completed the Trailwalker Challenge, hiking a magnificent 100km in 25 hours and 35 minutes over the South Downs to Brighton (with no sleep!). With the help of her 3 team mates she raised £2500 for Oxfam and the Ghurka Welfare Trust.  The Ghurka's themselves ran the whole way and completed it in 10 hours 30 minutes but we won’t hold that against Kirsty!
