The challenge:
14 runners...
183.4 miles to run...
423 years combined age...
1 wrist sweat band (Kathryn)
The BDO runners have reformed in order to lug their bones around 13.1 miles of Bristol public highway on Sunday 14th September. And for what? For the benefit of Children's Hospice South West, our chosen office charity for 2008. (The Quartet Foundation co-ordinate BDO's charitable donations which explains why the page is set up for the Quartet Foundation. Be assured, all donations will be directed to CHSW.) To find out why CHSW deserve our sweat and support, read below.
If you are a tax payer, please consider donating with Gift Aid, it costs you nothing extra but allows CHSW to claim the tax you have already paid on your donation back from HMRC. What's more, for every £ donated, BDO Stoy Hayward will match the donation under their matched giving scheme meaning your donation will go almost as far as we have to run!
Thanks for supporting us and CHSW.

About our charity :
Children's Hospice South West first welcomed families in 1995 to Little Bridge House, North Devon, and opened a second hospice, Charlton Farm near Bristol in April 2007. This instantly doubled its capacity from 200 to 400 families each year. Children's Hospice South West operate the only two children's hospices in the South West; they offer respite, relaxation, friendship and a sense of community. The hospice also shares the 24-hour care of sick children and supports families in bereavement.
