Glen's 10K run accross London on 12th April - All in aid of Cystic Fibrosis.
The challenge : Go from fat, lumbering, jelly-belly to lean, mean, running machine in three months.
The Cause : CysticFibrosis is one of the UK’s most common life-threatening inherited diseases and affects over 9,000 people in the UK. Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene, which accounts for around 1 on 25 of the population. It affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system. Each week, five babies are born with the disease and two young lives are lost. The Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Trust is a charity that works very hard on research into this disease, development of care and the welfare of sufferers.
The aim : To raise money that will go directly to the CF Trust via the Donation page that has been set up as part of Mr Paul Lemon's London Marathon charity fund (Paul is my Brother-In-Law and has kindly let me join in on official collection page to raise the target). Please put "Glen's 10K" somewhere in the comments if you do sponser me, so that we can recognise you.The Date : Thursday 12th April 2012
The Time : The run is due to start at 18:30 and hopefully reach the finish line sometime soon after 19:30.
The Start Line : Victoria Park, London.
The Finish Line : The Railway Tavern - by Liverpool St. Train Station, London.
The Route : powered by www.mapmyrun.com
The Facts : This event is entirely amateur. There is no direct involvement from the CF Trust. It is entirely organised by me. The Virgin Money Giving Website is also not involved directly, but is associated with collecting for the London Marathon - though the money collected will go to the CF Trust.
Feel free to come along and run with me - you would be very welcome - all I ask is a small donation to the CF Trust if you are running, or collect sponsorship yourself. If you would like to just turn up at the Railway Tavern then you would be VERY welcome indeed, though I'll probably try and sponge both a drink and sponsorship off you - so bare that in mind! If you would like to run or have further questions, contact me about the run at glen@glenslife.com.
