#TeamLloyd
Lloyd missed his first Run Waterloo race in over 30 years due to a fight against cancer, so part of the team joined Jordan and friends to bring the ReFridgee8er to Lloyd’s hospital window. The team is always behind you Lloyd!
A huge thank you to all those who came to cheer and support the team, and to Vicki, Michelle and Dave for the race photos!
