As you all may or may not know, we like to particpate in the Belfast City Marathon every year and try to get as many runners as possible entered in the team relay event and there is always one or two brave soles who run the full marathon.

 

Preparation is well underway and the event is creeping upon us, after weeks and even months of hard training. Everyone taking part, can be seen out pounding the streets or putting in the extra miles on the treadmill, along with cross-training in the gym at least a couple of times a week...very dedicated!!!

 

All this hard work, determination and effort will not go unnoticed...it is all in an attempt to raise as much money as possible for Mind Wise- a Northern Ireland Mental Health charity. Mind Wise transforms lives and develops new visions for mental health, fighting the stigmas and misunderstanding often associated with mental illness, whilst also being there to provide practical support to those people often forgotten and struggling for help.

 

Mental health illness affects the lives of so many of us but sadly it is often neglected and overlooked. As all our runners are doing their best, we would ask you to do the best you can to support them, by sponsoring this very worthy cause, as much or as little as possible...every little penny really does help and is much appreciated.

  

So please dig deep and donate now.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

Thank you for your support... all donations will be much appreciated no matter how big or small and they will all help every runner make it over the finish line.

 

Thanks again,

 

Rob, Julie & Lyndsey xx
