19th May, 2008: Running for The Right to Play
Yet another thing I meant to get around to setting up/doing a couple of weeks ago:
Recently, I found out about an awesome charity called Right to Play, (who also have a UK division).
Over 700 million children don’t know what it means to play. Right To Play is helping to change that.
Right To Play uses the power of ‘play’ to improve health, build life skills, and foster peace for children and communities affected by war, poverty and disease. Using their specially designed sports and play programmes, Right To Play has projects in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
It’s always been one of my life goals to run a full marathon – and indeed, this is definitely something I’m going to build up to before long – but when I found out that the Right to Play UK were the official charity of the London Parks Half Marathon 2008, I decided to jump straight in!
So, on Sunday 12th October 2008, I will be running my very first half-marathon. I’m aiming to raise £500 at the very least, but obviously any more than that would be very awesome indeed. If you could please dig deep and give as much as you can, I would be very grateful.
You can donate quickly, easily, and completely securely (and also anonymously, if you prefer) via my JustGiving.com website:
So please, please, please donate. :)
Some widgety goodness:
