Story
Thanks
for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This year I am
joining Team Spark #13 and will be running the Leicester Half
Marathon - that's 13 miles to celebrate 13 years of the Spark
Festival.
Since the Spark Festival started back in 2003,
the charity has worked with more than 150,000 children and young
people, giving youngsters the opportunity to access the arts in
different ways and, for many children, offering them their first
taste of the theatre and arts.
Money raised will go
towards FREE events such as The Play-ground (which last year welcomed
over 3000 people), and keeping the festival's 'On Your Doorstep'
programme alive and accessible to all young people in the city.
The
Spark Festival is the biggest children's arts festival in the UK. In
2014, 24,480 children & their families attended 190 events across
Leicestershire in schools, theatres, libraries, parks & community
venues.
