On October 7th 2012
I am going to be running the London
Royal Parks ULTRA Marathon (yes, not
just a normal marathon for normal people, this is one for the slightly
un-hinged)!
The distance is 50km
and my fundraising is 30% for The Royal Parks Foundation
Where your money
goes...
The Royal Parks
Foundation help keep the Royal Parks in bloomin’ good order, by supporting
projects from wildlife conservation and landscape restoration, to community
sport, education and art. Imagine how great you’ll feel, knowing you have
contributed, when you go through your favourite London Park in years to come!
London's eight
amazing Royal Parks need our care.
Looking after 5,000
acres of carefully conserved urban parkland, home to hundreds of thousands of
trees, plants and wildlife, plus numerous historic monuments and of course more
than 37 million visitors each year, is no small task.
Whilst The Royal
Parks receives a government grant for the day-to-day care and management of the
lawns, flower beds, roads and paths - keeping them safe and clean, in beautiful
condition and bursting with life all year round - that grant has just been cut
by 25% and there is little or no funding for sport, education, art, heritage
restoration or wildlife conservation projects.
Please follow
the below link if you can help me support the team to keep the Royal Parks some of the best in the world, whilst also
having the thought of me in a lot of pain on the 7th of October 2012!
Thanks,
Mark
