TRACEY’S RUNNING THE LONDON MARATHON
You may recall that this year we have been volunteering our time to support home-grown Norwich Charity The Feed. Like us, you were probably excited to hear that The Feed has been going from strength to strength with it’s new cafe in Norwich.
We will, of course, be continuing to support them in this fantastic new venture by buying our coffees and sandwiches from them whenever we are passing. But The Feed’s important work does not stop there.
For anyone who doesn’t already know, The Feed helps vulnerable and disadvantaged local people find accommodation, training and career opportunities. Maybe most importantly, The Feed help the people they work with to get their confidence, self-esteem and self-worth back.
Tracey Bowen Jones – Training for the Virgin London Marathon
So, Rock Solid’s very own Tracey Bowen-Jones will be sweating it out with over 40,000 others in this years’ London Marathon on behalf of The Feed. Tracey is busy training [cue Rocky music and montage] for 6 months running 60 miles a week and we would be eternally grateful if you could sponsor her and help The Feed.
The money Tracey raises will go towards putting local people through The Feed’s training programme. It costs approximately £1200 to equip each graduate with the training, mentoring and skills they need to have a successful career in catering and every pound will be put to good use.

Tracey said, “Having got involved with The Feed and seeing with our own eyes the brilliant work they are doing and how they are changing lives, we are determined to help them make a difference. I think most of us have dealt with difficult circumstances or fallen on hard times at one stage or another so we should all be able to appreciate the lasting impact things like unemployment or homelessness would have on our self-image. Running the marathon for The Feed feels very important to me and all the Rock Solid team and we would be incredibly grateful for any amount that our friends, clients and contacts could spare. Even if it’s just a couple of quid – it will all go towards changing local lives.”
