Update: 5th September 2006: We did it! The race took place last Sunday - there were over 20,000 women running in Hyde Park. The picture is of the two of us after the race with Southampton Uni rep Fiona Brooker who was also running for Latin Link (she beat us both, running in a record 23 minutes! we were closer to the half hour mark!)
Thank you very much to all who have sponsored us so far - we really appreciate it! ... and it's still not too late to do so if you haven't already!
Hope we've inspired you - go on, find an event in your area and get those running shoes on!
Sponsor us & raise money for Latin Link!
Well, it's all come round very fast! We haven't trained a huge amount & we aren't really runners but we're willing to swallow our pride & run in fancy dress in Hyde Park on 3rd September to raise money for the awesome work Latin Link does in Latin America! We have both been on short-term building projects with Latin Link in Ecuador, Mexico and Argentina so we know what a difference they make both to the people we serve and to us!
To find out about the wider work of Latin Link please go to www.latinlink.org
Girls, it's not too late to join us either... why not come and run with us and help us to reach our fundraising target? Just drop either of us an e-mail: communications.uk@latinlink.org or phone call: 020 7939 9000!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Latin Link will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor us now!
Thank you!
