The Valtos 10k

The Linda Norgrove Foundation has now held two successful 10k events in consecutive years. October 2012’s event proved to be our best fundraiser of the year.

It is a great opportunity for friends and supporters all over the world to get together and remember Linda whilst raising funds for the foundation. People took part in all corners of the globe: to see photographs, or to send us yours
