Story

I work at the University of Greenwich at the Medway Campus and I will be running in the Asics British 10k London Run in July. I have chosen to raise money for the university’s Alumni Fund because a lot of the bigger problems in the world tend to get focused on and the very little things at home get overlooked. To have something like this that looks after our own students who are not so well off is a real gift. I would never have gone to Higher Education without my scholarship. I’m running for the simple reason that it’s a good cause; it’s a worthwhile thing to do to give somebody the chance to get an education.

I love sports and activities in general, I used to go skiing and I like cycling and  things like that. But I like couch sports too - watching sports on telly! I don’t know what to expect from the run. I’m looking forward to completing it. To raise the money, to finish the run and to be able to say I’ve done it is going to be a big achievement!

So please dig deep and donate because this is a good cause!

The Alumni Fund fosters a spirit of caring for our students which in turn gives rise to a culture of owning and belonging. The money raised will help students in extreme financial emergencies, it will buy resources for the library and it will support students with a disability or dyslexia.
