On Sunday 6th December 2009, 12 members of SJ Berwin are ditching their regular attire to join the 5km Santa Run around Greenwich Park. Yes that's right, they will be dressed as Santa Claus, or Father Christmas if you prefer, and will be joining up to 2,000 other runners dressed in the same way! Our runners are;
Victoria Baxter, Tom Brittain, Chloe Challinor, Alexandra Clapp, Brendan Davies, Karen Doolan-Williams, Karen Dunstan, Natalie Elliott, Emma Jeffery, Cecilia Joyce, Gerry Thompson and Maria Watson.
You'll appreciate that this isn't an everyday occurance and no prizes for guessing (as you are on a fundraising site) that they are doing this to raise money for charity. To be precise, they are running and wearing silly clobber to raise money for SJ Berwin's charity of the year, Excellent Development.
Excellent Development is a brilliant charity, which brings sustainable water supplies to some of the world's poorest communities. Its philosophy - to help communities to help themselves - and its long term vision means that our funding would not only help people today but will leave a long term legacy for future generations.
We hope that you will applaud their efforts and reward their bravery (and silliness) by sponsoring our SJ Berwin team of Santas via this Justgiving site. SJ Berwin match donations £ for £ so your support (however big or small) will be doubled making even more of a difference.
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.
