British Military Fitness 10k and 5k · 5 February 2008
WE DID IT !! We completed the Military Fitness 10k / 5k on 29 March !
We ran up and down hills - and even through waist-deep mud. You might well ask 'why' ? Because we were raising funds for The Hornsey Trust. The charity runs the only specialist centre and school for children with cerebral palsy in the London region. And it is not too late to support our achievements !
Ruby, 3½, attends Parent and Child sessions at the centre. Her dad Derren was in our team. So was Max, whose son Jaspar is in the nursery group. And so were many friends, including two Hornsey Trust conductors.
We didn't have a target time - our aim was just to cross the finish line. And we were not under pressure to reach the target amount of money either, although we are touched and delighted by everyone's generosity ! We know that every pound we have raised will make a real, lasting difference.
Here are a few examples of what your sponsorship will help the charity buy. £5: two-handed cup or picture book, £20: one parent and child session, £50: a home visit or switch access computer game, £100: a ladder back chair or new reading scheme.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Hornsey Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support !
