Story
The Royal Parks Foundation is the charity for London's eight Royal Parks and we're proud to launch our first Half Marathon, sponsored by Brakes, taking place on Sunday 12 October 2008, starting and finishing in Hyde Park.
The route winds through Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The Green Park, St James's Park and along the River Thames amongst avenues of beautiful autumnal trees, taking in superb views of Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Marble Arch, the London Eye and the Royal Albert Hall.
(will also be climbing kilimanjaro a few days before running..)A bit about my Charity:
http://www.article-25.org/
Since forming in January 2006 Architects for Aid (A4A) has provided more than architecture. The skills of the professionals working on the projects come from across the built environment professions: engineers, surveyors, project managers and others. To reflect the human rights ethos behind what we do and this wider range of projects and skills, we have changed our name.
Article[25] is an operational UK registered charity that designs, builds, and manages projects to provide better shelter wherever there is disaster, poverty, or need. Article[25] provides built environment professional expertise; we work alongside aid organisations, NGOs, and communities around the world. Our mission is to bring experienced, field-appropriate professional skills and academically rigorous research findings to NGOs engaged in building work. Our role is the responsible stewardship of the building process from start to finish.
