Val McIntosh, of Wolverhampton Homes, said: “We are hoping to raise a lot of money at the Auction of Promises towards our chosen charities and myself and my colleague Diane Welch are going to run the London marathon 2010 to raise even more funds.
“We are grateful for the support received from our clients including Frank Haslam Milan, and other local businesses such as Watson Glass, Travis Perkins and Bullock, and hope the public will come and join us on November 21st to offer their support.”
