JENNY TELLS US HOW IT WENT:

 

Sunday went REALLY well, had so much fun, the atmosphere as usual was amazing, there were supporters on every inch of the course, with bands, dancers, musicians everything you could possibly imagine, they really got me round! My aim was to beat my previous time of 4.31 and I did, I finished in 4.24 so over the moon about that! The first 13miles went really quickly, I ran with the record breaking caterpillar of 34 runners joined together and Richard Branson….the only thing was I didnt realise it was him until I finished and watched the news!!

Up to 20miles was ok, then it started to REALLY hurt, but the crowds by then were huge and got me to the line…which much to my horror they had moved back by about 200m from when I did it before! Work on Monday was interesting as moving was an optional extra but nearly fully recovered now :-)

 

I have raised just over a £1,000 which will hopefully go some way to helping the water project in Ethiopia, hopefully there will be a little bit more coming in over the next few days.

H2O WALK FOR WATER

Walk for Water CampaignTHEMED SPONSORED WALKS IN AID OF SUNARMA

Action Ethiopia have teamed up with Creative Orchestra to publicize an unusual approach to sponsored walks.

 

The main aim of the campaign is to draw attention how valuable water is in Africa and to help raise funds for African Water Projects.

The starting idea is that you start at a place beginning with H and you end up at a place beginning with O. This could simply be from Home to Office, but there is alot of opportunity to get creative. Click the picture to find out more.

 

If you are interested in doing an H2O Walk, email us and let us know so we can send you a support pack.
