Charity keen to recruit for London run

10:00pm Sunday 29th January 2012 in Corsham

A CHARITY in Wiltshire is looking for runners to take part in the 2012 British 10k in London this summer.

Alzheimer’s Support still has a few places left for people who want to take part in the fundraising event on Sunday, July 8.

Its fundraising manager, Lesley Crawford, said: “We are looking for anyone who is reasonably fit, who wants to set themselves a challenge for 2012.

“It’s a great event to be part of. The run starts at Hyde Park and takes in Trafalgar Square, the Embankment and West-minster, before finishing at Horseguards Parade. “There are about 15,000 people taking part, so it’s like a mini London marathon, with loads of supporters and a great atmosphere.

“We ask that everyone who runs for us pledges to raise £200 in sponsorship. We will take care of the administration and entrance fees and give all our runners a T-shirt and sponsorship pack.”

If you would like to run the British 10k for Alzheimer’s Support, call Lesley on 01225 776481.
