One of the leading lights behind Bramley parkun has celebrated a major volunteering milestone.
Jean Hollings – known in some circles as ‘Mrs Bramley parkrun’ – yesterday completed her 50th parkrun and also volunteered for the 250th time at the Saturday morning event in Bramley Park.
Cakes were provided by regular volunteer and master baker Gareth Semmence.
Back in February 2018, Jean was a recipient of a West Leeds Dispatch Good Egg award for her selfless voluntary work.
