London Marathon Fundraising

posted: 27/01/2009

Nick Eaton is running the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April. The marathon is 26.2 miles, or 42kms if you prefer and, as he says, it's a pretty daunting and challenging race to complete.
 

He's doing it this year to fundraise for George House Trust. You can donate at his JustGiving page and follow his training progress on Facebook

Please join us in Team GHT at the Great Manchester Run, on Sunday 17th May 2009.

If you've had trouble registering for the Great Manchester Run, there's no need to panic!

George House Trust have 75 charity places for runners on this year's Great Manchester Run. These places are open to all runners including people wanting to run with Team GHT for the first time.

All Team GHT runners will receive:

* Free running vest
* Free luggage deposit facility at the charity village (in Manchester Central)
* After run party including free buffet
* Regular training tips and sponsorship advice

To book your place on the run with Team GHT please send a cheque for £32.00 made out to George House Trust. This pays to register you which we are required to do by the race organisers. If you can't afford this, see below - we have some free places.

Please clearly write your name, email address, telephone number and postal address on a piece of paper you attach to your cheque, or write it on the back of the cheque itself.

Please send this to (no stamp needed) :

After the run, if you raised £100 or more in sponsorship you can ask us to refund your £32 entry fee.

Some free places

We have a small number of free places for people who are unable to pay the £32 entry fee. To ask for one of these places please contact us as soon as possible on 0161 274 4499 or james@ght.org.uk

Already have a place but want to run with Team GHT?

Please contact us so we can keep you up to date with fundraising sponsorship arrangements and let you know our plans for the day.

We look forward to meeting everyone again for another fantastic day!
