I can't remember why we thought it was a good idea at the time, but it is TOO LATE to do anything about it now - our temporary tattoos have already been dispatched by the event organisers.

Who's running you ask? Well, I was just getting onto that bit: Lauren Bradley, Liz Gascoigne, Holly Turner, Mark Radford, Liam Swinney, Lesley Bradley, Sarah Hitchcock, Sophie Lewis, Jesse Cary, Claire Cary, Dave Crompton, Laura Addison and Ian Ward! What an odd group...

To make it worthwhile (as if breathing in potentially hazardous paint fumes wasn't enough) we are raising money for Age UK Gateshead. We're all going to be old one day, and I for one am bloody terrified about the prospect of it. Age UK Gateshead do some lovely work for older people in the Gateshead community, have a look at their website to see what kind of things they do: http://www.ageuk.org.uk/gateshead/

It would be brilliant if you could donate a few pounds to support us. If you don't want to donate (fine, no it's totally fine, I said it's fine) then why not come show your support by waiting for us at the finish line? The Color Run is in Sunderland on Sunday 20th July. Just think of the potential for horrendous photographs!
