You can now Donate!

STOP PRESS

We have now managed to set up a Just Giving page specifically dedicated to the Help Harry Help Others campaign. This is where we would ask you make all donations for your RunningForHarry efforts. Monies raised will be directed towards brain cancer research only.

You can ask your family, friends and colleagues to use this link to make their donations. With your help we can raise as much money and awareness into a cure for this terrible condition.

Thank you for your help, support and generous donations. Together we can make a difference!

Are you running??

So, are you RunningForHarry on 1/4/12? 

We need to get an idea of how many people are signed up for the Reading Half Marathon so far.

Please send an email to RunningForHarry@gmail.com with your name and whether you are running as an individual, or part of a corporate relay team. If you are part of a team please provide us with the names of your three other team mates too.  

If you haven’t signed up yet we hope you will do so shortly. If you can’t run the full half marathon distance you can sign up to the Corporate Relay. Why not transform those Twitter friendships into something special by RunningForHarry together? You can help us raise money for research into brain cancer and help raise awareness of this terrible condition.

There are still relay and individual places left but they won’t be around for long! It’s important that you get a place now and then you can concentrate on raising sponsorship in the New Year. Details of the Just Giving account will be released soon (we are still awaiting confirmation from CRUK).

You can sign up here.

Remember to let us know when you are signed up at - RunningForHarry@gmail.com

Thank you for your continued support!

The beginning of 'RunningForHarry'

Why are we doing this? 

Harry Moseley was a truly inspirational boy, dedicated to raising money and awareness in the search of a cure for brain cancer.  After a courageous battle he sadly passed away on the 8^th October 2011. His family and friends committed themselves to continuing his work.

There is no doubt that the work of Harry had a profound effect on many people, me being one. I decided on the day of Harry’s passing that I would do a number of sponsored events in 2012 to raise money for Harry’s charity campaign.  Talking to a number of others on Twitter we decided to run the Reading Half Marathon in April 2012.

And so it began…………………..

One thing led to another and within 24 hours a small group of people decided to do it too. Fortunately we have some very well connected people in the founding group who managed to ask Duncan Bannatyne (a friend of Harry) to run with us. He agreed, for which we are all very grateful. RunningForHarry had been born!

RunningForHarry is not an organiser of events. It is more of a conduit, directing groups of people towards different running events with the common purpose of raising money in memory of Harry. Reading Half Marathon is the first event, but will not be the last!

So how can you help? 

We would like you to sign up for the Half Marathon on Sunday 1^st April 2012. You can do the whole 13 miles, or make up a relay team of four people and run a leg each. Not everyone can run and we absolutely appreciate this. Maybe you could help promote it, spread the word and get people sponsoring the team on the day? Anything you can do would be welcomed! Below are the links for the race website. We are currently waiting for confirmation of a joint Just Giving account from Cancer Research UK, via www.helpharryhelpothers.com News on this later!

Please go to the Reading Half Marathon website, have a look round it and sign up!

Thank you,

Alex Britchfield
