Happy New Year !
As we wind down the last few days of 2018 there is a temptation to wax nostalgic about events of the past year as well as voice our predictions for the next.
Instead, I’ll simply offer my hopes that you’ve enjoyed a healthy and happy 2018, and I wish you and your loved ones more of the same in the coming year.
I end this final blog of 2018 with a list of the charities that have benefited from all of the sports-related fundraisers covered in sportingAcause this year. I think you will agree that many deserving causes benefited from the efforts of many giving hearts.
Happy New Year!
