Saturday, 14th October saw the return of the annual Mells 10k, raising funds in aid of CLIC Sargent in memory of Ben Crutchley. It was a brilliant day again, with over 100 participants raising more than £6,500 – which, combined with Gift Aid, takes Ben’s family’s total for Mells 10k fundraising to over £50,000.

Ben’s mother, Su, said: “We had fantastic support from Frome Triathlon Club this year, who raised an amazing £725, and they loved it that everyone could be involved, as their partners could come along and walk, too.

“As part of our £1million pledge to CLIC Sargent, Mells 10k has become our favourite event to organise. The support we receive from friends and family far and wide is incredible.

“As well as all our local friends who regularly take part, we have had people join us from Scotland, Manchester, Kent, Cornwall, Wales, Berkshire – the list goes on!

“It is a fantastic event in a stunning part of Somerset that is not normally open to the public. Come and join us on Saturday, 13th October 2018 for our fifth Mells 10k – you won’t want to miss it!”
