Runners and non-runners alike are invited to take part in the Barnardo’s Big 5km, supported by Royal Mail Group.
The 2010 events held in Victoria Park, London on the 28th February 2010 and South Leeds Stadium on the 14th March, are an opportunity to dust off your training shoes and step into springtime with your friends and family in tow.
The 5km event is not just for the well-versed athlete or professional fundraiser. Barnardo’s wants you to get your friends and family members; walkers, joggers and couch potatoes involved. You will not only be raising your heart rate, but you will also be raising valuable funds to help turn around the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged children across the UK.
For the first time, Barnardo’s is organising a 1km run for children under 10 to take place before the main event. There will also be a range of activities for the whole family afterwards.
Registration for the event is £10 for the 5km race and entrants are encouraged to raise £100. Whilst for the mini 1km race, the entry fee is just £5 and children are asked to try and raise £20. To register and find out more visit www.big5km.co.uk
Daniel and Sarah’s Story:
Sarah registered herself and Daniel to run Barnardo’s Big 5km in 2009. Two years before, Daniel’s father Peter - who had been raised in a Barnardo’s home - had passed away. For them running the Barnardo’s Big 5km was a way to commemorate Peter and to celebrate the organisation that gave him a great start in life.
Your £100 could help Barnardo’s provide children like Daniel with five afternoons at one of our child bereavement family centres, where they will receive a wide range of therapy, training, and can relax and have fun with other children whose lives are adversely affected by bereavement, trauma and grief.
All funds raised from the Barnardo’s Big 5km will go towards the children’s charity’s vital work turning around the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people throughout the UK.
