Ben’s Marathon and a Half for Stripey Stork
When it comes to supporting Stripey Stork, Ben Harris didn’t just go the extra mile

Christmas will not be cancelled!
Imagine having to tell your children that they won’t be receiving any presents at Christmas. No presents at all.
Children still in Junior school who wouldn’t have stories to share about the presents they received when they went back after the holidays.
That was the reality for a local family being supported by one of our referral sources back in 2017. A family who wished that they didn’t need the support of Stripey Stork and our Santa Stork campaign but who sadly did. When talking to Mum about gift choices for the children she only mentioned two of her children:
“I’ve already told the older ones they won’t be getting anything this year” she explained sadly.
But we were able to help thanks to your support, and requests for the whole family were added to our Santa Stork list.
It’s the reality of stories like this which make us realise how necessary our annual Christmas campaign is in bringing Christmas to as many local children in need as we can – regardless of age or circumstance!
See Santa Stork page for details of how to help this year’s campaign.
