Pip: Running the Leeds and York 10K's

from 14 Jul 2013 - 04 Aug 2013 in Leeds and York

I'm running not one but two 10K's (not on the same day!) in Leeds and in York.

This is the very first running challenge I have ever done and I'm doing it to promote environmental awareness.

I am massively passionate about the environment and want to share this with you, so instead of raising cash for a charity I am asking you to make a personal change and reduce your emissions to move towards a more sustainable way of living.

To sponsor me you can take on a 2 month 'DoAction', which range from simple things like recycling to more involved things like changing your electricity supplier. It's really easy to do (I have sponsored people through this before) and you may even get healthier and save money at the same time.

Please sponsor me a DO Action, it will make me smile ALOT!

Thanks in advance,

Pip :-)

HOW IT WORKS:
Browse the DoActions and find one (or more) that suits you, then make your pledge(s). Some are really easy; others take a bit more effort.

You only pledge to do your chosen action for two months and all the information you need is provided here on The DoNation, making it really easy to complete. You'll receive a few helpful reminders and then at the end of the two months you'll be asked to confirm how you got on.

So please, get doing!

Thank you!!
