Sadie Ramm and the Knit Happens knitting group of Newbury are running a sponsored knitathon in conjunction with Park House School, Newbury. The event, being held on 15 December, 5pm - 8pm, is to raise money for the Meningitis Research Foundation, and in particular to support Steve Cullen, who's aiming to raise £4,000 for the charity.
Steve is going to be taking a husky trek across Norway, and the knitters are helping by being sponsored to knit squares to turn into blankets, which will then be donated to the Dolphin Ward at the Royal Berks Hospital in Reading. If you can knit squares and raise sponsorship money or donate spare yarn or needles, email us and we'll pass your contact details on to Sadie. You can also sponsor Steve directly.
