Story
Hi all and thanks for visiting this page :)
This year on May 20th Dylan and I will be running the Bristol 10k together, in aid of Love Running. Love Running is a group of people from Bristol churches all running together to raise money for some fantastic causes, to improve the lives of people both in the UK and Abroad....a 3rd of the money goes to Hurungwe in Africa giving money towards education, buisness empowerment and substainable development. A 3rd goes to Uganda providing clean water for up to 6000 villagers and the last 3rd goes to local Bristol Communities giving money to Clic Seargent and 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).
Between all 500+ runners we are aiming to raise £85,000 are you going to help.
NOW ON TO US :)
As many of you will no Dylan is not a runner or really an active person so this is a huge thing for him :) He has also recently suffered an injury to both feet, but is powering through and is going to walk/crawl the whole 10k....a huge achievement as many of you will know his feet have been really bad!
As for me, many of you will know I will often be crazy and do things like this with 0 training!! Well this time I have done about 20% training, but still can only run about 2k without stopping lol....but these charities are all incredably important...especially close to my heart is the water for Uganda, my dad visited Uganda several years ago and came back with many stories about how life is out there and I would really like to make a real difference here!
OTHER INCENTIVES:
- if we raise over £200 we will write all sponsors names on our faces on race day :)
- if we raise over £1000 we will do it dressed as each other ;)
So please support all these great causes, and if nothing else for a good giggle at us.
We will keep you all updated on our training :)
