GREAT NORTH RUN 2010 for BCFC Burns Unit Appeal.
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
The Great North Run was on the 19th September & the 4 of us had a good weekend in Durham/Newcastle/South Shields & didn't get too wet. Brian pulled a muscle in his calf and has had to defer his run tonext year - but fortunately Simon was able to run - at a slightly lower time than last year (due to too much work, a new baby, Leo, etc, etc) . He finished 15628 out of 54000 at 2hrs 6mins & 40 second. We think it's brilliant & we're very proud of hiis run.
We know that for various reasons our sponsership might be a bit lower than last year (Thanks to all of you we raised £815.64, including gift aid, 2009), BUT that still doesn't mean we don't appreciate everyu penny of sponsershi we receiev & we're looking forward to building too our target before mid-December.
as I wrote last year...
"We'd really appreciate it if you are able to sponsor us again. The Burns Unit makes such an amazing diffence to the lives of so many - not just survivors of the Bradford City Fire but also to current people injured through burns throughout the country as the expertise developed there is shared nationally. If you can please gift aid - it doesn't cost you anything but gives some of your current taxes to the unit.
Many thanks! Julie, Brian & Simon.
