The Slowpokes are a team of enthusiastic but athletically challenged women. Honorary members – Elaine, Fran, Ha-Yeon, Hyesun, Hye-Yun, Hyun-a, Kade and Nicola – spend their days working at the Korean Embassy in London, safe in the knowledge that their physical limitations will never be exposed to the world…until now.

Crucial training will commence soon (once we stop debating which one of us is the least fit) and we promise that no matter what, even if we have to crawl, we will all make it past the finish line. We will of course be using the power of Kimchee to aid the effort, so any and all donations of fermented cabbage would be most welcome!

So please support and sponsor us and donate whatever you can spare to a very worthy charity, Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Don’t make us beg now…

Many thanks for your support.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Breakthrough Breast Cancer 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.
