Nearly £10K raised by our London 10K runners




With money still coming in, we have raised almost £10,000 so far from the London 10K run on Sunday 11 July.
Despite the heat and humidity on the day, over 70 Project HOPE UK supporters completed the 10 km to help raise funds for our flagship programme The Thoughtful Path: Munsieville.
Teams from Munro Forster, Fulbright & Jaworski, GlaxoSmithKline and Synergy Healthcare as well as many individual runners ran or walked the route past historic London landmarks and enjoyed a well-earned drink at the Blue Posts Inn afterwards.
Jonathan Brooks was the Fastest Male runner, finishing in 40.43 mins and Claire Grindel the Fastest Female runner with 48 mins, while Stacey Harris won a special Wooden Spoon award for making it back!
Many thanks to everyone who took part and to all their sponsors - all funds raised will be used for our programme changing the lives of disadvantaged children in South Africa forever.
