So we can't believe it has been 5 years for Lyndsey! Tonight the team took on our wod for her, which is a tradition of ours every year now.

Our Captain couldn't make the session tonight, but she did it before work on Newcastle’s Quayside.

Last year as a team we decided to raise funds for

Last year as a team we decided to raise funds for the @maggiesne at the Freeman hospital, and we set off with the target to raise £5k, through a wide range of activities from bake sales, raffles to bonus balls and 100km sponsored walk, wearing our custom designed charity vests. To help draw the celebrations to a close, we finished by hosting a charity touch rugby competition for 8 teams at Rockcliff Rugby Club on 9th July.

We just wanted to thank each and everyone of you who got on board with all the fundraising, and helped to not only meet our £5k target, but absolutely smash it!! In total we raised £7,934.16 and we know the funds will be put to good use straight away!

On Monday 8th August, a selection of the Blackadders Charity Committee, along with Matt and his daughter Louisa popped along to the Centre to present the cheque to Maggie's.

£5,780.37 raised through the Just Giving page and through individuals fundraising, plus £1,500 which is being matched by Sage and another £60 through separate online donations adding up to £7,340.37 for @maggiesne

We can't thank everyone enough who got on board and helped us along our fundraising journey!
