🏒⛸️ 8-YEAR-OLD EDEN IS TAKING ON A 5K… ON ICE! 💙
Something very special is happening at Billingham Forum Ice Arena on Monday!
Our Billingham Ice Skating Club member, 8-year-old Eden Hope, is taking on an incredible 5K ON ICE to raise money for Hope Cancer Support Billingham — and she’s doing it in the place she loves most! ⛸️💜
📅 Monday 28th September
⏰ 9am
📍 Billingham Ice Arena
That’s approximately 33.5 laps of the arena! 😱🔥
Eden has been a proud member of Billingham Ice Skating Club for 5 years, starting her skating journey at just 3 years old. With her coach Cathryn McCabe, she is currently working towards her Platinum Figure Skate Star Award.
But Eden’s love of the ice doesn’t stop at figure skating! 🏒
Last year she gave ice hockey a try and completely fell in love with it. She is now also part of the Under 10s Billingham Stars Junior Ice Hockey Team.
And there’s an extra-special connection to this fundraiser…
💜 Eden’s mum, Ann Hope, is the founder of Hope Cancer Support and also a committee member of Billingham Ice Skating Club.
So this challenge brings together two huge parts of their family’s life, the skating community they love and the cancer support charity that Ann founded.
And Eden isn’t doing it alone!
🏒 The incredible Cleveland Comets Recreational Ice Hockey Team are also taking on their own 5K challenge to raise money for Hope Cancer Support.
📅 Sunday 4th October
⏰ 12pm
📍 Billingham Forum
Two 5Ks. Two teams. One amazing cause. 💜
We’d LOVE your support for Eden on Monday and the Comets on 4th October.
Come along. Cheer them on. Share their story. And if you can, make a donation.
Every penny raised will help Hope Cancer Support continue supporting local people affected by cancer. ❤️
🙌 LET’S GET BEHIND EDEN & THE CLEVELAND COMETS! 🙌
