I'm running 10k.... Why not join me?

 

When I dreamt up this challenge I didn't want to rely heavily on sponsored events as I know how frustrating it can be having repeat requests for sponsorship in a short period of time. As such, I decided to do just one event but make it something that would be a real challenge for me so that people would be willing to dig deep and so that I could feel that I'd achieved something on top of the fundraising.

So a couple of months ago I signed up for the Bupa London 10k. I'm super unfit and have never entered a race longer than 5 miles before so saw this as a difficult but achievable challenge.

National Lottery run 2013 - 5 miles - Furthest I've ever run before!

 

Fast forward to just before Christmas when Mum asked if she could run with me and donate any money she raised into the 3for30 challenge total. Of course I'm more than happy to have someone to do the race with and to boost the fundraising closer to the total.

So that brings me onto my question to you, my blog readers and challenge followers:

 

Do you enjoy running?

 

Is your New Year's Resolution to lose weight or get fit?

 

Do you want to set yourself a challenge and support three fantastic charities whilst doing so?

The Bupa London 10,000 on May 25th and is still open for entry. It will cost £28 per person to enter.

It would be amazing if we could get a team of us together to raise as much money as possible for Make-a-Wish UK, The Make a Difference Trust and Nordoff Robbins.

Let me know if you sign up and want to raise money with me (I can help you link any fundraising page into the main page nearer the time).

Or if you're not a runner, why not just come and cheer us on.
