HASTE has a new exciting event that we’re very pleased to be able to announce. We’ve fundraised by running a couple of times now so we thought – lets do something a bit different. So, on 15 September 2012, six of our supporters are going to take to the water, rowing 21 miles along theContinue reading “Rowing for Africa”

Congratulations and massive thanks have to go out to our second marathon runner in two years – Andy Hussey, who ran the London Marathon on 29th April in a titchy, tiny, miniscule 3 hours and 54 minutes. We were all suitably wowed, and two of the HASTE contingent went down to celebrate with him andContinue reading “Marathon number 2 – completed!”

Although we weren’t given a spot in the marathon thisContinue reading “Make a big fuss for Huss”

Thanks to everyone who attended the HASTE garden party on 8 July. Lots of people came, despite the rain, and the wine flowed freely.

July 1st is the happy date this year (It’s a Friday). £10 in, and that gets you a free drink, delicious buffet food, and a delightful night had by all. Doors open atContinue reading “Summer is here!”

All London stood by in awe on Sunday April 17 as our first HASTE runner, the delectable Miss Lizzie Couch (pictured) completed the 26.2mile course in just 4 hours 18 minutes. Speaking afterwards, she said, “It wasn’t as hard as I’d thought. I was quite annoyed, actually, because loads of people were walking so IContinue reading “Couch Potato Triumphs (and raises £7,000)”
