SANTE’s Run to the Water team - September 12, 2010. We’re missing a few people, but this is as close to everyone as we could get. 
A massive thank you to everyone who donated, ran or just turned up on the day. It was a great success, and we’ll have more details of the final total we raised, as well as the project we’re supporting up soon.
