Royal Parks Half Marathon 2009 · 11 October 2009 ·

We believe that no one should be excluded from the life-changing benefits of community sport. We support community sports clubs, organisations, coaches and volunteers to provide inclusive inclusive sports offers, helping change the lives of underserved young people in their local community.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page for what we believe to be a very worthwhile charity.

Having puffed our way around Wandsworth Common a few times and after a bottle of wine or two (possibly three) we have decided to attempt a half marathon.  We know it's not a full marathon but it's still a very long way and we are not getting any younger!  Training's going slowly as we keep convincing ourselves that the event's a long way off so we really need the motivation of money to get us off our backsides and out in the fresh air! 

We are running for a very worthy charity Access Sport aimed at giving children access to a wide range of quality local sports especially those from disagvantaged areas.  Whilst Access Sport are not currently active in our local area we have already approached our MP Sadiq Khan to work with us and identify local clubs that would benefit from both financial and commercial/technical support from Access Sport.  If successful the charity will be on the lookout for local ambassadors so watch this space! 

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 - So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you in advance for your support and feel free to shout words of encouragement if you see us red faced and wheezing as we puff our way around the Common.  Alternatively you can throw rotten fruit & vegetables to encourage us to run more quickly!
