My story
Bristol 10k | 20th May 2012 | TUTU99 £10 to 70070
or as little as TUTU99 £1 to 70070
Race Day......
Today I completed the Bristol 10k in 1hr 3minutes and 14seconds. A new personal best.
UPDATE 18-05-2012
Race day is almost upon us.... I've lowered my tutu target. If I raise this target by Sunday the tutu will be back in the game.
So.... is it tutu or not tutu?
The choice is yours!
UPDATE: 26/02/2012
Right now completing the 10k sub 1hr is feeling like a mammoth challenge!. 10k or 6.2miles is hardcore for me. I think I can confidently call myself a cyclist but a runner right now is questionable. How about run 3 walk 1 run 2?
So why am I commiting myself to Love Running?
On May 20th, I'm going to be running the Bristol 10k road race along with a massive 600+ other Love Runners and yes I am the most unlikely person to be attempting this (again). I entered the Bristol 10k two years ago and managed to raise over £1,600. This year I'm going to aim higher and raise £2k.. And finish sub one hour, instead of my 2010 PB of 1h 13m 6s. Even thats pretty good since I wouldn't call myself a runner.
This year Love Running will be raising funds in three areas:
The Poor - Hurungwe, Zimbabwe
Love Running is the sole supporter of a World Vision area development programme (ADP) in Hurungwe, a region of around 40,000 people in the rural north of the country. Working with community leaders, churches and health clinics, this project provides education, training, business empowerment and sustainable development for entire communities. World Vision is particularly focused on the plight of the many orphaned and vulnerable children in Hurungwe.
The Oppressed - Kigezi, Uganda
Today, in 2012, 900 million people worlwide have no access to clean water. As a result, 5,000 children die each and every day. We want to do something about this injustice, so we're partnering with Tear Fund to transform an area in Uganda where the problem is most acute. We're going to help provide clean water for 6,000 villagers by building rain water harvesting and filtration systems. as well developing sanitation and education.
Love Running will literally change the lives of children who right now have to spend 3-4 hours a day collecting water, often at great personal risk.
The Needy - Local Bristol Communities
The final third of the money we raise will go to areas of greatest need on our own doorstep. We're joining with Bristol Council and the Race Organisers to support CLIC Sargent, a charity that works with children suffering from leukemia and cancer. CLIC House in Bristol will receive the lion's share of our local support, with the rest being divided between 6 other Bristol charities - Crisis Centre (the homeless), Reach (single parent support), BISC (foreign students support), The Noise (community action and care), Enough (youth provision on the Hartcliffe estates) and Sea Mills Community Initiatives (community support).

Once I've raised the 2k I will race in a tutu.... anything over will involve a wig of some description.. I'm up for suggestions
