First race sponsorship

« on: April 04, 2013, 05:34:38 PM »

I'm doing the Lincoln 10k on Sunday morning, which will be the first race I've undertaken since I started running in September. A couple of weeks ago one of my friends liked a facebook page, it came up on my feed, and I discovered a cause I'd really like to support:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Harrys-Friends-Leicester-Childrens-Hospital-Trust-for-CICU/431446890266591

I'll be running to raise funds for the Children's Hospital in Leicester, more info about the charity is available on my Justgiving page http://www.justgiving.com/JamesAtkin

I won't be setting the world ablaze in my 10k. If I run it in under an hour I'll be happy. Maybe next year I'll go for a more impressive pace.

Any donations, no matter how small, would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
James

Good luck fella. I'm sure you'll get round in under the hour.

Is there actually anything more than a zero percent chance of anyone ever checking?

Thanks to everyone who donated, including Anonymous who I didn't get a chance to thank personally.

I did it in 56:48 which I was pretty pleased with
