BUPA Great Manchester Run · 17 May 2009 ·

The Children's Literacy Charity is a specialist, high impact literacy intervention working to close the literacy gap for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our Literacy and Reading Labs are based in partner schools and help children who are the furthest behind to catch up and thrive.

Story


(Deep narrator's voice, preferably Samuel L Jackson):
It all began in 1985.
 
We loved running then - but couldn't do it, because we couldn't walk.

But it's now 2009.

We still love running... but up until recently, couldn't do it.
Or more aptly, refused to try!

So here we go... after some gruelling training, we are now professionals, rivalling  radcliffe and co.  A vast distance is to be covered in a short space of time: 10 million units of measurement*

Our promise is that we will love you MORE than we love running if you pot a penny or two in the pot.



*(in a small voice, preferably tinkerbel from Peter pan): millimetres to be precise 


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Springboard For Children 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.
