Saturday 9th May Update: I have reach my £500 goal and, on a last minute hope-filled whim, doubled the target! Let's see what can happen in just one night...
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm not a natural lover of running. You probably know this about me... it may even be why you are considering giving to this fundraising event!
Love Running is really exciting because it encourages a community effort, which for sure builds love for each other! It also encourages well being for us as individual's, loving ourselves as it were. But this Money Stuff, that is where love can really be demonstrated... and it's easy too thanks to modern technology!
I've been thinking quite a lot recently about freedom and sacrifice and how they, paradoxically, seem to go hand in hand. As I have been training it has felt like a quite a big sacrifice at times. The discipline and volition (and movement!) do not come easy and I am trying to study for my finals as well... but as I make this sacrifice I am becoming freer - physically, mentally and spiritually. Also, as we together make the sacrifice, we are putting our energies into supporting charities that bring help, hope and freedom to many people across the world is desperate situations.
If you wanted to be part of bringing about that freedom then perhaps you could consider a financial sacrifice to this cause? World Vision in Zimbabwe; One25, a local charity working with women trapped in street based sex-work; and St Peter's Hospice, supporting ordinary families through not-so-ordinary times. As we 300 runners corporately race we aim to, little by little, change thousands of lives.
So why not partner with us in that change? And in doing so experience some of the love and freedom for yourself...? It sure feels good! :-)
P.S. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Love Running gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
