Update, Tuesday 26 October - Job done! we all safely completed the run on Sunday and we have raised nearly £3,500. Click on the 'raising money for Birmingham Law Centre' link for details of the team.
Congratulations to everyone who ran for us - and to everyone else, please keep donating!
I have raised money for other charities but now I am runnin the EDF Birminham Half Marathon for a cause much closer to home.
I am the Chief Executive of the Birminham Law Centre, a voluntary oranisation that ives advice to the most vulnerable people in and around Birminham, includin those in debt; people facin homelessness and poverty, families threatened by eviction and people discriminated aainst at work.
The Law Centre needs to raise at least £100,000 by the end of this year – and more in subsequent years, so it can continue to help the 2,000 people a year who currently benefit from its expert leal advice, support and representation.
Birminham Law Centre offers a unique service and We are different from most other ‘advice aencies’ - we can represent people in the hihest courts – and et real resolution to their problems.
I’m aimin to raise £10,000 by runnin the EDF Half Marathon toether with a team of Law Centre runners. I am also doin the Wolverhampton Half Marathon and the Great North Run.
I will update this site from time to time to keep you in touch with how we are getting on with our training and fundraising.
