Dear Friends,
In September 2010, I started to run. It was my intention to finish a 10k race in November 2010. I did, and I have now completed three 10k events and have been training for my first Half Marathon; “The Great Scottish Run” in Glasgow on September 4th, 2011.
Within a year I will have gone from being a non-runner to a fairly serious long distance competitor.
I work for a charity called Inverclyde Peace Initiative (IPI). We work alongside children and young people in Inverclyde, helping them to develop non-violent strategies for Conflict Resolution. In my work I have discovered how important the Initiative is for the young people whom I meet.
I’d like to encourage you to offer sponsorship for my half marathon, secure in the knowledge that every penny I raise will go to IPI in support of their important work. Just contact me and i\'ll give you the details for cheques and the address to send them to. Alternatively we can meet up to exchange the donation. If you have already sponsored me, thank you very much!!
I will let you know the total amount raised and my race time on completion of the Half Marathon in September 2011.
Many thanks! Jane

(UPDATE) I finished the race in 2hrs10minutes and managed to raise £500 of sponsor money for our IPI funds! Thanks to everyone who supported me to achieve this!
