Congratulations to our wonderful team of runners who took part in the Oxford Half Marathon yesterday. All fourteen completed the 13 miles and were still smiling by the end.

We were especially re-LEAVEed our CEO made it to the finish line after deciding to do the race dressed as a tree. Members of our Elder Stubbs recovery group made the 11 ft papier mache structure, which Martin wore strapped to his back. He is today nursing bleeding feet, but at least his race was not TRUNCated!

We were all ROOT-ing for him and the rest of the team. YEW can still show your appreciation for their efforts by supporting them here.

Thank you to all the runners and everyone who supported them!
