Wessex Mead rotarian Vicky Ody is attempting to run 100 miles in local races including half marathons and cross country mudfests to raise awareness and raise money to buy a Shelterbox. Vicky has a Just Giving site or people can contact her via the Club to make a donation. www.justgiving.com/Vicky-Ody-2012.

Vicky completed her first 10k towards her target at the Frome Half Marathon and 10K race on Sunday 22 July - "it was hot and I didnt realise Frome had so many hills" was her review!

It costs just £580 for a complete ShelterBox that will provide a family of 10 with the shelter and other vital equipment they need to survive after a disaster and start rebuilding their lives.
