Story
WE DID IT! It was a challenge, really hot and sunny in the daytime and then the cold, damp of the night, but what a fantastic team and great event. Our mileage total came to over 197 miles, a fabulous achi-evement. There are a few updates with photos below. Huge thanks to everyone who has donated so far, those who popped by to support us, volunteers, other runners on the course. There was a great community spirit and ultimately we were all there to help end homelessness in Southend. Please keep donating x
We will be taking part in this 24 hour running event from 12pm 22nd June to 12pm 23rd June. This will be our first time and we are nervous and excited at the same time. It's going to be tough, running over a 24 hour period, but it will be a team joinery. Please read more about HARP and the amazing work they do below. We know there are lots of requests for donations, if you can spare anything it would be fabulous! Thanks so much, Team Fitbugs x
HARP, Southend's homeless charity, helps local people overcome homeless for good. We provide access to accommodation, support and educational, confidence boosting activities to give local homeless people the best chance of leaving the streets behind. On average, we assist over 1,000 people every year who are either homeless or at risk of homelessness. We rely on the fantastic support of the public to carry on with our work. Thank you for supporting HARP and helping us to change lives.
