Story

We are crazy bunch from Forces Fit Winchester who like getting muddy for fun and now we are hoping to put this silliness to a good cause. We are all taking part in the General Race on 20 May 2012. On that lovely Sunday morning as you are enjoying a leisurely breakfast and read of the Sunday papers some of us will be running a 10k undulating course around the Matterly estate in Winchester and some of us will be doing that plus a gruelling obstacle course.

To help motivate us round we have decided to help raise some money for The Winchester Nightshelter which offers hope and help for the homeless. 

The Team - Miranda, Lizzie, Mel, Tom, Veronika and Walter.
We all train with Forces Fit, Winchester and have very varying levels of fitness. 

Please help spur us on and avoid us getting cold feet by donating a few pounds to this amazing charity.

 

The Nightshelter has 17 beds and provides an evening meal and support services to around 140 perople a year. However, they had to turn over 400 people away last year and this is set to rise with the current economic effecting peoples jobs and their ability to pay for their homes. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
