Once again, there will be a Team Veniños walking or running around Hyde Park in London, in order to raise funds that will go to help street and shanty town children in Venezuela.
Have a look at www.veninos.org to see some of the wonderful educational and environmental projects we have been able to support over the last 5 years.
You can also join ourFacebook Page and follow their updates and events!
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page for this year's run - please sponsor us online if you are able to do so. The adidas Women's 5k Challenge is a really fun event which is easy to do, so you don't have to train too hard, if at all!
Your support will be very much appreciated, not just in the form of sponsorship, but also for anyone in the London area, by coming along to Hyde Park to cheer the London-based team on, along the route. There are over 20,000 women running for different causes on the day, and the atmosphere is magical!
If you would like to join the team, apply quickly while there are spaces available - the more the merrier. Don't forget there are simultaneous races happening in London, Birmingham and Liverpool, and you can run in any of these 3 locations as part of Team Veniños. Simply log on to Women's Challenge to enter online.
For those coming to Hyde Park, please bring a food contribution too if you can, as we plan to have a Veniños picnic in the park, straight after the event, as we have done in previous years. It is a lovely way to catch up with friends and supporters!
Meet after the race finishes near the entrance to the Serpentine Gallery, we will be nearby under a shady tree from 1230 onwards.
Donating through this site is simple, quick and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us. Veniños 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.
In addition, should the company you work for offer a matching scheme (many of the large employers do, please check with your company HR Department for details), don't forget to apply for that matching. By doing this you could, at no additional cost to you, double your donation.
So please sponsor us now!
Many thanks for your support.
