Thank you to our Team GHT Runners!

posted: 20/05/2011

George House Trust would like to say a HUGE thank you to all those who ran in Team GHT last Sunday, 15th May.

Our Team braved the cold and the rain to run and raise vital funds to support people living with HIV in the North West.

Big thanks also go to Christian from Active Health for providing some much needed free sports massage before and after the race and to the Cooperative, Crunch Bar and Durex for sponsoring our running vests. Also to our team of supporters who provided some fantastic encouragement along the route!

There's still time to sponsor our runners. You can find them at: http://www.justgiving.com/ght

Sponsor Lynda at London Marathon

posted: 27/01/2011

In George House Trust's 26th year, Lynda, our Director of Services, is running the 26 miles of the London Marathon, raising money for George House Trust.

For 26 years George House Trust has been campaigning, supporting people and fighting stigma: George House Trust needs financial support now more than ever to make sure we survive the recession and cuts and continue to deliver good quality services to people living with and affected by HIV in NW England.

1st marathon

Lynda only started running 6 years ago, to raise money for George House Trust by taking part in Great Manchester Runs. This is her first ever marathon.

Lynda is meeting all the costs of the London marathon and travel etc herself, so all your sponsorship money goes directly to George House Trust to support people living with HIV.

JustGiving

Lynda has a handy JustGiving page - it is simple, fast and totally secure.

Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to George House Trust and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

So it’s the most efficient way to donate - Lynda raises more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for George House Trust.

So please dig deep and donate now. Every donation, no matter how small, adds to Lynda's £3000 target and directly benefits people living with and affected by HIV.

Thank you very much!!

Help Marathon Munich Fundraising

posted: 13/08/2010

The Oxford English Dictionary defines the Marathon as "A bloody stupid thing to do, the first bloke who did it dropped dead, try getting a bus". So on the 10 October Daniel will be doing his first marathon, in Munich, Germany in 3 hours – that’s his time target.

Every penny and pound for George House Trust
Daniel’s running the Munich Marathon to raise money for George House Trust where he works. George House Trust provides advice, information and support to people living with or affected by HIV.
 

Daniel is paying all his own costs, so every penny you and others give will go directly to services for people living with HIV.

Daniel started his marathon training back in June and already his feet look like the surface of the moon, and after some champion chaffing his nips now resemble a pair of tea stains on his chest.

To achieve his 3 hour target he’s running 6 times a week and averaging over 50 miles a week.

His fundraising target is £1000 and he's almost 20% there. Please help make all this effort worthwhile and as he says - please dig deep.

You can give here on his Marathon fundraising page at JustGiving.com
