WHY BHGE 10k?

I consider myself as a very active person and a person who has been always passionate about healthy lifestyle and exercise. I do exercise basically every single day - I either go for a run or go the gym or just go for a walk. I'm also a member of RGU Volleyball and RGU Football team. I always wanted to take a part in runs such as Edinburgh Half marathon or Aberdeen Great Run. However, I've never done anything like that before, therefore, BHGE 10k seemed like a perfect opportunity and a perfect starting point for me especially because I can support a local charity - Befriend a child.

WHY BEFRIEND A CHILD?

I come from a stable family and I have lots of nice childhood memories. I know my parents are always here to support me and give me an advice if needed even though I sometimes take it for granted. I moved away from my home country The Czech Republic to the UK to study here and because of that, I realised how lucky I am that I can have a family like that. However, this also helped me to realise that not everyone is lucky as I am and that's why I would like to support Befriend a Child charity because their focus is on a support of disadvantaged and troubled school-aged children and young people growing up in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire and as they say themselves - every child deserves a happy childhood and a chance to succeed in life.
