‘ADS’ Santa Fun Run - 2022 edition
On the 27th of November, we welcomed hundreds of Santas at our most important event of the year - the annual 'ADS' Santa Fun Run. They have been running, walking and pushing their own way around the Eton Dorney Lake to show their support for our lovely Charity.
We were delighted to welcome the Mayor of Royal Borough Windsor and Maidenhead, Councilor Mrs Christine Bateson as well as MP, Theresa May. We would like to sincerely thank them for being there adding further awareness to the importance of supporting People with Dementia, their Carers and Families.
Our amazing patron, Sue Holderness, joined us on the day and before going for her 5k run/walk, she helped us decide on the winners for the special competitions. Also, during the official ceremony, she handed over the prizes to the fastest runners and lucky raffle winners.
The special competition winners included: Best Dressed Dog, Best Dressed Wheels, Best Dressed Team and Best Dressed Family.
The children could visit the 'ADS' Santa (our supporter, Anthony Ash) who welcomed them all in his special grotto and offered them a small surprise gift. Santa's Elf also came back again this year and was very busy running the S-Elfie station, taking pictures of everybody with our huge inflatable Santa!
Congratulations to everyone who made it around the course, especially to the fastest three adults and three children.
