Bristol Sands Virtual Run, October 2018
Fundraising for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity
Story
Welcome to the fundraising page for the Bristol Sands Virtual Run to be
held throughout October 2018.
How to take part in our Virtual Event
Simply decide which distance you fancy walking, jogging or running during October. Your distance does not have to be done all in one day, you have the 31 days of October to complete your goal. Adults can choose from 5k, 10k, 15k or 15*miles and children either 2k or 5k. Or
you could set yourself your own personal challenge, how about 15k each week of the month? Or at least a mile everyday during baby loss awareness week, the 9th-15th of October? This might be the motivation you need to complete your first event, your longest distance, to target a PB, or as a family walk making memories, perhaps a way of doing something positive and remembering a loved one.
Please use this fundraising page to pay for your entry, £10 for an adult and £5 for a child, please include your names to help us keep track of our runners!
You must also remember to register for the event here https://goo.gl/forms/YB4sjsfCRbAyLkVp2 by 28th October 2018
Once we receive your registration we can then email you details of how
to confirm you have completed your challenge. Once we have evidence of your completed walk/jog/run we will send you your well-earned medal as a big thank you!
*The distance 15 has been included as sadly 15 babies die before, during or after birth every day in the UK. To find out more about Sands #Challenge15 campaign visit https://www.sands.org.uk/get-involved/challenge15
All your efforts are so very gratefully appreciated, thank you. Happy walking, jogging and running everyone!
