Great South Run - 28th October 2012
Great South Run - in October 2011 Team Naomi attracted 98 runners. So whether those who participated eased past the finishing line, or followed the old fable tale of ‘slow and steady wins the race’, it was amazing to see so many out in force supporting our worthwhile cause.
This year has seen the biggest crowd running for Naomi House, with the figure just shy of 100, it was a tremendous turn out for the 10 mile run, and full credit must go to all those involved, be it the runners or those who donated, helping raise funds for the charity. With the event being the biggest race on the sporting calendar in the Southern region, it has raised approximately £27,000 for the charity, with donations still expected to be flowing in within the next few weeks. This figure is up on the previous year’s final figures which raised £19,000 so this is an astonishing effort and every penny really does help us achieve our goals.
“I really enjoyed the Great South Run; the atmosphere was fantastic and it was great to see people of all ages, sizes and fitness levels taking part. We chose to raise money for Naomi House as it does such an amazing job caring and supporting children and their families and this work couldn’t continue without donations. Also it was good to raise money for a charity which is just down the road” Lydia Lockhart.
Naomi House is proud to be able to offer help to our runners in a range of different ways. From the moment you sign up, you have our full support and guidance. We provide every runner with a Naomi House branded running vest and a fundraising pack. Professional sports coaching company, Green Coaching, runs a day of nutrition advice and training tips, including a practical session for those who are wanting to participate.
We also hold training days throughout the year which include a tour of both hospices so you can see where your money goes. So with this in mind we hope that you will feel invigorated by the efforts of those in this year’s successful Great South Run, and sign up to next year’s event, to be a part of the experience that has been memorable for many of those who previously participated.
