We were delighted to attend the 17th Annual Sports Dinner in aid of Action for Children
Along with over 350 guests we had the opportunity to hear some amazing stories from one of Britain’s sporting greats, Paula Radcliffe, the special guest speaker.
Having represented Great Britain at the Olympics in four consecutive games, her achievements include; World Champion in the marathon, half marathon and cross country, and three-time winner of both the London and New York marathons. In addition to this, accolades include BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Laureus World Comeback of the Year, IAAF World Athlete of the Year, AIMS World Athlete of the Year (three times) and a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) and, in 2010, was also inducted into the England Athletics Hall of Fame.
What an inspiration!
It was an amazing evening with over £70,000 being raised for Action for Children.
