We are three down with one to go and the support has been amazing.

“We want to say a massive thank you to team Ethan for taking part in the Wolf Runs and to the 11 people that are doing Alpha Wolf, we can’t thank them all enough.

“The September wolf run went really well and 22 runners completed the Offchurch course for Ethan, which was more people than we expected.
