It's that time of year again - the AUK 10K run takes place at Dorney Lake, Windsor on Easter Saturday (March 22nd). Once again a group of volunteers from the Kick-Asthma Children's Holidays are getting together to variously run the 10k, the new 2x5K relay, and support loudly from the sidelines (as well as promoting the hols).
We - and especially I - would be very, very, grovellingly grateful if you could spare a few pennies to support our cause. What cause? This one *points upwards* - Asthma UK. We'd love to beat last year's achievement of £2,500 (which was a bit astounding). Our online fundraising site is justgiving.com/kickasthma - or you can PM me for details if you wish to sponsor us by cheque.
Last year I wanted to run it in less than an hour - and I managed 1hr 0mins 6s - gutted! Really want to beat that this year...watch this space. A number of the team aside from myself are also asthmatic, so your support would mean a lot to them, too.
Right, I'll cut the waffle now.
Thanks for reading,
Cathy

I'm going to be deeply cheeky and bump this
No nepotism Steve-do you think you are an MP--heheh !!
LOL, heaven forbid!
I also noticed Steve donated £100.
*thinks £10 will suffice, is student :P*
Well, there are a lot of 'em in the team; I just pay pro-rata!
Bumping this up and then off to justgiving to do as I'm told
Wow CathBear that was a cracking total last year, well done! Lets hope you can beat your time and your total, will send some pennies. Go KA Team and especially CathBear, love Lois xx
Yes indeed. We reached the £1,500 target....maybe yesterday? The day before? So we've upped it.
Please pray for good weather on Saturday, or at least for it to be not cold and not too windy, else I'm not going to manage to rake in the extra promised cash for doing it under an hour
Just wanted to wish all of you the very best of luck for Saturday!!
Depending on Sean and the weather hopefully we will see you there
Hope is isn't too snowy - good job your not running in Essex! We have snow forecast!
Love & Huggs & Lucozade!

Thank you! Julie - will hopefully see you and the family there! Keeping fingers crossed!
Well, the Beeb can't seem to make its mind up what the weather will be doing on Saturday - I have checked three times this week and three times it's said something diferent!! I think I'll just have to wait and see...
Good Luck all - hope the weather's good for you!! Claire and Ollie
Many thanks for the good wishes.
Weather was unfortunatley absolutely horrendous - freezing cold, driving wind, rain, hail, sleet and snow.
Sadly didn't make it round under and hour but considering conditions I was very happy with a time of 1hr 1min 37s (the fastest runners reckon the conditions took about 5mins off their times).
Sean made it round the 2k but had a text from Julie to say he's struggling a bit now, all credit to him for making it though.
Off to get some food in now and to continue warming up.
