Running

Dear all, as you might already know I’ve taken up jogging and I’m running the Mersey Tunnel 10k on Sunday June 12. I’m sure you already know where this is going. Yes, I’m raising funds.

I wanted to raise funds for a local charity that provides shelter to homeless people. I want the money to sponsor rooms directly. (Roughly £12 sponsors a week!) I’ve had some difficulty locating one that would accept this kind of fundraising (one charity refused my offer outright, which I respect but find difficult to understand) but finally I’ve found 2. One is called “First Place” and provides shelter for homeless people with support needs. The other is a charity that wants to remain nameless but they also provide shelter for homeless people here in Liverpool.
I trained for over 60km in May and there are 12 days to go. I estimate that by June 11 I will have run over 80km in training.

I am paying for my race entry fee therefore ALL contributions will go directly to charity. You will also be notified of my training and my result in the run etc.

If you are interested, please send me an email with “Run Onur Run” in the subject line ...

Oh and come and cheer me on if you feel like it. I’m sure I’ll need it. The details of the run can be found on tunnel10k.runliverpool.org.uk.
Hope this message finds you well.
All the best,
Onur
