Despite the early morning rain, the 10km London run on Sunday 12th July was a great success, with over 50 people running for Project Hope.
The fastest runner was Jonathan Brooks, with an impressive time of 40 mins 35 secs, whilst his father, Paul Brooks, Project Hope UK's executive director, completed the course in just over 1 hour. The average time for runners in the fastest team was 60 mins 7 secs.
Everyone joined in the celebrations and award ceremony afterwards at the Blue Posts pub.
Project HOPE UK's "Running for HOPE" teams raised funds to support the charity's new signature programme, "The Munsieville Model", which aims to push forward the boundaries of care for thousands of AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children in South Africa.
Every step run, and every penny you donate, will take Project HOPE UK closer to the goal of creating genuinely sustainable, community-based initiatives that will ensure the health and total well-being of children in the urban slums around Johannesburg. It will also enhance and influence work with orphans and vulnerable children throughout the developing world.
I'ts not too late to sponsor Paul or any of the other Project Hope runners online at www.bmycharity.com/projecthopeuk
Next year's run will be on Sunday 11 July, so if you're inspired to join in, save the date now!
