His traditional form of transport is a sleigh and a team of reindeers but soon Santa will be using his own two feet to raise money for charity – and you could be part of it!
World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK) is calling on runners to take part in a 5k Santa fun run in the approach to Christmas. Each runner will receive a free Father Christmas outfit – complete with snowy beard – to don for the December 5 race around Greenwich Park, South East London.
Just £20 to enter the deadline to register is 12th November 2010. Please visit http://www.doitforcharity.com/doitforcharity-5km-santa-run-2010.aspx to sign up today!
Around 2,000 ‘Santas’ are expected to take part and WCRF are asking everyone to raise at least £100 in sponsorship. Beginners are welcome and the emphasis is on taking part, so even if you just want a festive stroll around the park you can join in.
In return for raising a minimum sponsorship target of £100, we can offer you a guaranteed place in this run. We can also offer you lots of fundraising and training support to help you to make the most of the race, for example:
Full support from a dedicated member of WCRF UK’s Events Team
Training Plan and nutritional advice
A Fundraising Pack full of tips and advice to help you fundraise
Your own online sponsorship page
WCRF UK relies on the generous support of people like you to continue our vital cancer prevention programmes. To find out more about where the funds our supporters raise goes to, please visit our website: www.wcrf-uk.org.
