Well, I'm not very good at running, but that's not really the point - I have been inspired by the cause I am supporting - The Fawcett Society! Made up of a team of very dedicated people working to try and make this a more equal society for all, all donations will go directly to supporting its campaigns - from lobbying the government on equal pay to improving the rape conviction rate, which stands at a low of 7%, and improving the political empowerment of ethnic minority women.
If you want to sign up and join in too go to www.womenschallenge.co.uk, type in Fawcett as the charity you're raising money for (we're at 1-3 Berry Street, London EC1V 0AA) and drop us an email to let us know you've joined the team on events@fawcettsociety.org.uk. The race is in Hyde Park in London and we go for tea and cake afterwards (and you don't have to run - you can walk it!)
Or if you want to just donate, JustGiving is a simple, fast and totally secure way of doing it. 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.
