Helen's 1000km in 2017
Fundraising for Bliss
Story
***update***
All the donations helped so much that I hit my target by the end of July! Soooooo I decided to up it to 1000km! Any donations would massively help me achieve my goal!
As you all may or may not know I like to run! Not one to shy away from a challenge like marathons or 20 miles obstacle courses (gratuitous showing off there) I have been looking for a fresh challenge this year.
Now the way I see it I was bullied into this years goal by my loving and supportive team at work who know my weakness for doing stupid things (and being really rubbish at making a bet)! What started of as a suggestion of running 250km soon rose (at my proposal) to 500km in one year. Now to some who are avid runners this might not seem like much but for me it really is quite a challenge as I'm an all or nothing kinda gal so consistency over the course of the next 12 months will be tough! It will also be the most I've ever run in one year at nearly twice the distance.
Now here's the thing, you can help me! I don't often ask for sponsorship for my running so I am now! Bliss is a fantastic charity who doing amazing things supporting the family's of premature and sick babies. Unfortunately I know far more people than I would like that have been affected by this and Bliss really need the support to carry on with the fab job they do.
Bliss also happens to be the charity my work, Morgan McKinley have chosen to support amongst others as part of our pledge to donate the equivilant of €1 million to charities and worthy causes by the end of 2018. This is part of my contribution to that! You can read more about it here: http://www.careers.morganmckinley.com/csr
So please, whatever you can spare, would really go along way and help motivate me to keep going this year.
Much love
