Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Team Underwood JustGiving page.  The Royal Park's Half Marathon has become a fixed event in the Underwood calendar.

The team has been training hard all year.  Amanda has been fighting off plantar faciitis (sore feet), Jenny has been struggling with patellofemoral pain (creaking knees), I have been working really hard on my smoking (trying to give it up!) and if Nick's skill and ability to talk about running is matched by the pace then some of the elite runners will need to watch out!

So, we expect to go faster this year and with that in mind we want to raise a little bit more for charity.

We are supporting the Meningitis Research Foundation's 20th anniversary year and the memory of a young lady called Megan.  We will leave you to look at the MRF's website www.meningitis.org to find out more about the truly tragic impact that meningitis can cause and the good work of the MRF.

Donating through JustGiving is simple. Your details are safe – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs.

So please dig deep and donate now.  Thank you for your support.

Meningitis is deadly; killing and seriously disabling in hours. Small children and young adults are high risk, but all ages can be affected. Globally 1,000 people die daily. We fundraise to invest in research, campaign for vaccines, provide symptom information and support those already affected.
