Oh what fun it was to ride in….

….. Alison’s open top sleigh!

And what a sight – four santa’s on their way to Doncaster’s Santa Dash which was held at Sandall Park on Sunday 11th December.

Alison Straw, partner and head of the family department at Taylor Bracewell Solicitors, took part in local cancer charity Aurora’s race with her family, partner Steve and his children Oliver 14 and Isobel 13, and raised over £100. 

Alison said “Aurora is a charity very close to my heart having lost my mum to cancer, and having friends who, thankfully, have survived with help from charities such as these.  The Santa Dash is a lovely family event, and it was great fun to be one of the 200 Santas and reindeer running through Sandall Park: made even better by being able to help raise much needed funds for Aurora.  I would particularly like to thank all my colleagues at Taylor Bracewell for sponsoring me: they are always keen to help support local charity events such as these.  

Our race results were pretty good too: Steve came 2ndand Oliver 3rd, and despite being full of cold, Isobel ran the whole mile with me.  However, I do think that we really should be awarded 1stprize for our soft top VW Beetle sleigh: it was absolutely hilarious to see the faces of the children as they saw 4 Santas driving past in it!”
