S.O.S. Please help!
As you know, Run for the Children is running a series of 3K runs across the country to raise money for The Children's Trust, a U.K. based charity that helps children with multiple disabilities due to brain damage. The stories of the children affected are often very touching; kids knocked down by police cars while on their way home from school. Kids who contract Meningitis and survive, but with brains badly damaged.
The Children's Trust does fantastic worth from a centre in Tadworth Surrey, helping these children back to (hopefully) a normal life.
Our events are family events, fun-runs with lots of other activities built-in to do afterwards, for instance a bungee wall (Rickmansworth), International BMX-ers and free-runners (Brighton) cycle coaching and street entertainment (Towcester) All the sponsorship money goes to the Trust.
But we are only a small team (seven people) and we rely heavily on the support of volunteers in each area to make every one of our twenty runs a success.
And, well, we are stuck. We need more volunteers from Oxford. Desperately.
If you think you could help at this event on the 29th June, or at any of our events, please ring us on 01903 883941. Kate would love to hear from you.
