Ollie's "Back in an Hour" challenge for Cancer Research
Louth Run For Life 2019
Sun 30 Jun 2019 - Sun 30 Jun 2019
In 2016 I did the 5k Louth Run for Life walking backwards. I had fantastic support, did it with a guide in 1 hour 6 minutes (I was last...) & raised some money for this great charity. This year, I’ve entered again and will be trying to do it in under an hour (what I’m calling Ollie’s “Back in an Hour” challenge). I’m hoping you will help me raise £1,000 to help fight this horrendous disease which has affected the lives of so many of my family & friends. As a proud baldie, I will have a face painted on the back of my head, this time of a famous Lincolnshire personality ancient or modern. Anyone who sponsors me can have a guess who it is (please include in the “comment “ box on my JustGiving page when donating). Whoever guesses correctly wins a bottle of Prosecco which I will donate. If more than one person guesses correctly there will be a draw to decide the winner. If no-one guesses correctly, everyone will be included in a draw to pick the winner! Good luck, & thank you for helping the fight against cancer. About this event: 1k and 5k events (walk, jog or run). Open to men, women and children. The event starts and ends in the Market Place in the pretty Lincolnshire market town of Louth. The route takes in the beautiful Hubbards Hils Park and has great support along the way. Fancy Dress is always encouraged and spot prizes are given. On the day: Join us in the market place for a warm up, then the children's (under 12's) 1k will start at 10am, the women's 5k starts at 10:30am and finally the men's 5k at 11:45am. As always the event will be followed up with an afterparty at the Kings Head on Mercer Row with live music from local bands. Get involved: Sign up today and raise funds to help us beat cancer sooner. Early bird offer applies and as of the 1st June prices for the men and womens race will increase to £15.00. Tie those laces because every step you take will be beating cancer.
