Join Team Jessie May in the Bath Half Marathon 2010.

Are you looking for your next challenge? Do you want to make a difference in your local community? Then join Team Jessie May and run in the Bath Half Marathon in March 2010.

Registration costs £35 and we ask runners to raise a minimum of £175 in sponsorship. All runners will receive a free running vest and training and fundraising support from The Jessie May Trust fundraising team.

All money raised in sponsorship from the event will go towards providing a vital lifeline to terminally ill children and their families in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. Through providing emotional and practical support to families in their own home, we can help them make the most of their precious time.

Sunday 10th May – Bristol 10k

Make 2010 the year you get fit and healthy. Run in this popular event and raise money for the Above & Beyond, CaRE Appeal (Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy Environment).

With 1 in 3 people being diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime, it is a disease which affects nearly all families. The Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC) opened in 1971 and cares for over 6,500 individuals diagnosed with cancer every year, with up to 1,000 visitors passing through the Centre each day. When talking to patients, we hear many fantastic things about the support and advice offered by the staff, but something that everyone agrees on is that the building, like the Bristol Heart Institute needs to reflect the outstanding care and brilliant people who work there.

The Above & Beyond’s CaRE Appeal has pledged £1.6 million to transform the patient and visitor experience at the BHOC but we need to raise the remaining £500,000 by autumn 2010 to make the project a reality. We need your help. Sign up for a fundraising event today and make a difference to Bristol.

Ring Nathan on 0117 3700 485 for more information or to register your interest.
