In Memory of Lesley 'Fitty' Morrison 

We are again thrilled to honour our late friend Lesley Morrison. Lesley was a wife, mother, a passionate community volunteer and was a huge part of our Active Farmers family. Without hesitation she jumped at the chance to help make this event come to life and had challenged herself to the 5k. All of our volunteers from our caters to marshals have put up their hand to make the day what Lesley would have wanted - a fun community spirited day!
