Taking a break from league action old Leams’ players Danni Benge, Karen Coleman, Pip Colenutt, and coach, Caz Lambert ran the Lady Godiva Half Marathon in Coventry on 21st October, raising hundreds of pounds for Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and Macmillan Cancer Support. Pip Colenutt, who plays flanker/front row for OLs, came in with a time of 1h57mins. "It was exhausting but very rewarding, and raising money for charity made it all worthwhile". Jane Daniel, the Ladies chairwoman said "I am very proud of our Ladies’ achievements and the money they raised. I also hope that we can use this fitness to our advantage in this season's league campaign." Old Leams are not new to energetic charity events, with a team entered in the Cancer Research Relay for Life, a 24 hour sponsored walk hosted at the club in August 2007 where they raised over £800.
