Pouring rain and gusty winds didn’t stop our brilliant volunteers from helping out yesterday evening prepping food and going out on the soup run. Despite getting absolutely soaked, spirits stayed high and 104 people were fed, with plenty of hot food, sandwiches and fruit to go around. A huge thank you to our six Storm volunteers for giving up their Sunday evening and getting stuck in. Hilary, her team and myself are super grateful 💜💜

And finally, we had our Runner of the Month and Special Recognition presentation

This months Runner of the Month is 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗲. Nicola joined Storm last year, and has grown in confidence with her running. She has recently completed the Totnes 10k (and a bit!) and we are looking forward to seeing her achieve more goals

Our Special Recignition Award goes to 𝗞𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴. Keith joined Storm in 2019. He has completed multiple London Marathons for charity. He is supportive runner both on club nights and behind scenes. He has recently
Qualified as a run coach. He hasn’t rested on his laurels and introduced the pace development session on a Friday night, despite a hectic Home and work life and recently completing his HND in civil engineering. It is also a major contributor to the Storm committee and the Storm social committee.

The captain award this month goes to 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴. After having a break from STORM, Chris came back after the 10th anniversary party and it felt like he’s never been away. From starting at a runner, then being a Buddy and then eventually back to leading Chris had also introduced the Hill training sessions which are still popular.
