Several hundred people packed the village green, as 750 runners, including Chrissie
Batts and Hayley Cook, pictured right, braved the elements for the annual
Saltwood run. ?They were rewarded with glorious sunshine, as
they?battled a very wet and muddy course around the Brockhill and Saltwood
countryside.

There were runners from many parts of the world, running?in the event which has taken place for the last 39 years.

The event is held each year to raise funds for MND, in memory of founder runner Terry?Davies who died of MND a decade ago and a substantial sum has been raised for MND?in East Kent.

This year?s run raised ?2000 from the race, ?250 from local Rotarians and a collection of ?90 from a collection on the day.

Paul Stanton ran with friends in memory of his brother Mark and raised ?1830, please visit https://www.justgiving.com/Paul-Stanton5 if you would like to add more. We understand that Paul?s company has agreed to match any money he raises, making the current total ?3660, a fabulous achievement.

Huge thanks to Greg Boarman and his team for their sterling job in organising this wonderful event.? 2014 is the 40th anniversary and should prove to be even more popular.
