Family Support

Jo Astbury has served as a member of the Events Committee of the Gloucestershire Chest Fund for many years. She has organised and manned ‘Awareness Day’ stalls, solicited draw prizes and worked steadily for the good of the Fund. Four years ago her efforts were rewarded when the Trustees presented her with the Doreen Roberts Award for outstanding service to the charity.  Jo’s son Simon has run the Tewkesbury Half Marathon for the last 5 or 6 years and the sponsorship money raised by him has well passed the £2,000 mark. Last year Jo was joined on her awareness stand in the Beechwood Centre, Cheltenham by her daughter Heather. This year Heather will man the stall alone because Jo has to be elsewhere.

On  Sunday 27thy September two more of Jo’s family will take part in a triathlon, swimming, cycling and running to benefit people who are not able to do it themselves.

How’s that for ‘Family Support’?
