Over 80 runners took part in our annual five-mile run through the beautiful and historic Epping Forest

Location: Epping Sports Centre, Essex
Date: Sunday, 10th July 2011

Money raised so far for the Rhys Daniels Trust from this event:
£2,792.46 which includes Haart Estate Agents generous sponsorship.

Extra Information: Sunday 10th July saw the 16th annual Rhys Daniels Trust Epping Family Fun Run take place through Epping Forest. The main event was sponsored by Haart Estate Agents.

There were 82 runners that took part on the day and the sun shone hard for another great event on behalf of the Rhys Daniels Trust “Home from Home” Appeal. A RUNNER who underwent open heart surgery just five months ago has spoken of his joy at completing the run, Matthew Lewis, 19, from Chingford, was among the runners in the Rhys Daniels Trust five-mile fun run which started and finished at Epping Sports Centre.

Actor Chris Simmons, who played DC Mickey Webb in the long-running ITV series ‘The Bill’, started the race and was there with Co-Founder of the charity Barry Daniels to help hand out event medals and prizes to the winners at the end of the race.

The winners and times as follows:
Men – Joel Goodman 30.37

Joel Goodman was especially thrilled to cross the finish line in first place as he has been competing in this event since it began in 1996, when he was 10 years old. The Rhys Daniels Trust is in its 17th year and now has “Home from Home” facilities set up and running in support of 6 major specialist Children’s Hospitals throughout the UK. These are based in Bristol, Liverpool, Birmingham, London, Cardiff and the Royal Marsden in Surrey.
