British 10k run, 06.07.08 - sponsor me please Posted by Andrew Chapman, 10:44am 13/04/2008.  With today being the London Marathon, it seems like a good time to mention that on July the 6th this year I, along with a group of other local business people from Oxygen, the Oxford Business Forum will be running in the Asics British 10K London run.
Once again this year we will all be running to raise money for local Hospice Helen & Douglas House. Last year we raised several thousand pounds for this incredible local charity who provide care for terminally ill children and young adults, and this year we aim to do even better. We will be fielding a bigger contingent and hoping to raise even more sponsorship. Last year my son Douglas ran with me, beating most of the adults in our group (he was only 15 then!), and this year he's signed up again - in fact, he is trying to persuade some of his friends to do the same. In a world where we only ever tend to hear bad news concerning what teenagers get up to in their spare time there is something very positive and inspiring about fit and healthy teenagers wanting to run behalf of others less fortunate. More info to follow in coming weeks - rumour has it there will be group training sessions (I know I need all the training I can get), and so sure to be some great photo's of very unfit Oxfordshire business people to be posted here - me amongst them! In the meantime, if you would like to sponsor me and Douglas to run on behalf of Helen & Douglas House, please email me and I will let you know the best way to do this. ^ Back to top
