Great Lines Runs for Dee

21/4/2022

Under a bright blue sky and beaming sunshine on Saturday 16th April, #TeamMedway came together at Great Lines parkrun sporting white 'Run for Dee' tops and bright red lipstick to run an extra lap of the hilly parkrun course to raise money for one of our run leaders, Dee Yamoah. 

The 'Lipstick Lap' was organised by Tracy Rodwell to represent the big red lipstick smile Dee was always seen with! The event was incredibly well-attended. Dee is a popular and much-loved core member of Medway Fit but is also very involved in other clubs around Medway. Always an advocate of #TeamMedway, the Lipstick Lap showed just how loved she is throughout the whole Medway running community.

Following parkrun, runners were able to purchase a huge selection of sweet treats, 'Run for Dee' badges, and have a go at the tombola & lucky dip. Everyone joined in and an incredible £877.88 was raised for Dee's recovery. 

The Lipstick Lap was kicked off by some lovely words from Dee's daughter Jade and a big group photo of everyone taking part, fronted by Dee's husband, Harry, and two daughters, Jade and Rihanna. Everyone enjoyed the extra lap of the course and the sea of white around the Great Lines was representative of just how loved Dee is! 

This is just the first event to raise money towards Dee's recovery. Watch this space for the next event and keep a check on our website for availability of the 'Run for Dee' t-shirts and vest tops.
