The background
10 mates, 4 days, 2 cars…Run2Paris
One word to sum it all up is “Amazing” but read on to find out more about what we actually got up to and how it all went down…
Lets start at the start…compiling the crew of 10 people crazy enough to run from London to Paris! The aim was 10 so everyone always had someone to run with. 7 are TWD runner based in Sale and 3 were from afar! The final crew was me, Kaz, Kerry, Ali, Claire R, Carley, Jane, Gina, Helen & Claire D.
As I type the current fundraising total is sat at £16,913 including all the GiftAid donated. A figure we can’t get our heads round even now. A huge part of our success comes down to Ali and the most incredible idea of doing an online raffle. Using our network of M33 businesses 31 prizes were donated and over 650 tickets were bought – we raised £6500 alone just from that. Its totally overwhelming to have raised such a phenomenal amount.
But enough about that – you all want to know about what we did and how it went down so here goes…
Everyday everyone runs 1 leg of a 5 leg route – all different distances but all adds up to 225 miles from start to finish. So as we were 2 teams, we had 2 runners run from point to point each leg.
