Soldato
Howdy!
Thought I'd share with you guys what my boss is aiming to do.
Roughly two years he successfully ran a 3 in 3 marathon challenge and raised a fair amount of cash for charity. This year, he will be running The Brathay Challenge: 10 marathons in 10 days (that's roughly 262 miles!).
He's also been convinced (read: bribed) to wear an England rugby top for one of the legs of the challenge... a tough thing to do for any Welshman!
He's run about 14 marathons to date, and also competed in the Zurich Iron Man Challenge.
If you donate £50 or more, you will also get the opportunity to get a limited edition 10 in 10 T-Shirt! Fantastic!
The marathons will all start on the 9th of May, but you can continue to donate for the next 60 days or so. The marathons will take place around Lake Windemere each day.
10 marathons in 10 days may seem a tall order, but it does not compare to how some children in the UK feel when there seems there is no choice, they do not know where to turn and usually its the wrong way!
Brathay work in partnership with various national and regional youth agencies in helping children and young people overcome difficulties arising from their personal and social circumstances, and give them the skills to make positive choices about their behaviour and attitude. They currently work with over 5000 children and young people each year.
So please help to make a difference!
So far he's raised just over £7,000 (smashing his original target of £2,000).
If anybody on OcUK would care to donate, then please feel free to do so via the following links.
Donating through this site is fast, simple and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor him: the Brathay Hall Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, you can an extra 28% in tax will (free of charge) and it be added to your gift at no cost to you as gift aid! This means that rather than the government claiming the 28% it will go to the charity!
