Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon · 12 October 2008 ·

The Royal Parks charity protects and provides free access to eight of London’s most beautiful parks. 85p in every £1 spent caring for the parks, their 170,000 trees and 7,000 species of wildlife comes from the people and organisations who support the charity.

Story

Hello, Alec here. Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. It's been quite a year for me, having lost more than 4 stone (25+kg) and I'm feeling a whole lot fitter since I took up running. It gives me great pleasure to support the Royal Parks Foundation, and especially my wife, Sara, who works at the Parks, and I hope you'll agree with me that conserving the green open spaces that so many millions of Londoners and visitors to our capital enjoy is very worthwhile. It is my great honour to run in the Foundation's first Half Marathon - and if I finish the race, it will truly be an historic occasion! 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Royal Parks Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

I'd be thrilled if you'd sponsor me now!
