Run Virgin Money London Marathon 2016 for EGSF!
We are delighted to have secured a place on the 2016 Virgin Money London Marathon for one lucky individual to run in aid of EGSF. This is an ideal way to raise awareness of our cause and to raise a substantial amount of money.
The ideal candidate will be a regular runner with an interest in Equine Grass Sickness, who is committed to raising the profile of the disease and can commit to raising a minimum £850 sponsorship. This is lower than other charities because we cannot offer any VIP frills on the day, but it does mean that all the money you raise will go directly towards grass sickness research. The successful candidate is required to fundraise via viginmoneygiving.com, there are no fees attached so every penny you raise will come to EGSF.
If you or someone you know is looking for a challenge in 2016 then please email Kate Thomson on info@grasssickness.org.uk by 7th August 2015. Please give a brief description of your running ability, your connection with EGSF, your ideas for raising awareness and sponsorship and what it would mean to you to run for EGSF. The successful candidate will be informed by August 31st.
