I'm taking part in the Hotelympia 10K run on 26/02/2012 to raise money for our client The Clink Charity and I'd really appreciate your support.  I shall be running alongside fellow Custard - Petra, Toby and Sonja from FreshRM and Chris Moore, Chief Executive of The Clink Charity.

As some of you know, I absolutely hate running, I'm rubbish at it but this is a fabulous cause and I've been challenged by the Hotelympia team!  The 10K run takes place in London on Sunday 26th February, the morning of the show opening at ExCeL, London. 

We currently provide PR and Marketing support to the charity and as part of our commitment to their work, we would like to raise as much money as possible to support the rehabilitation of at least one Clink graduate this year.

The aim of The Clink Charity is to reduce re-offending rates of ex-offenders by training and placing graduates upon their release into the hospitality industry. The charity represents a genuine opportunity for change, offering prisoners the chance to gain food preparation, food service and cleaning qualifications as well as experience within an exciting, operational business and in-depth guidance to find full-time employment within the hospitality industry upon release.

The 10k run provides an opportunity for everyone in the industry to raise money for Springboard (who work with The Clink by mentoring ex-offenders and supporting them throughout their employment journey).  We will be raising money to get funding to support the rehabilitation of at least one prisoner this year.

JustGiving sends your donation straight to The Clink and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more. I hope you'll join me in supporting The Clink.

Thank you so much!
