RunAsOne – tie yourself to your mate (or a random) and run 10k so kids in Zambia have the opportunity to go to school

RunAsOne - tied together for education

This Sunday, the 14 October 2007, sees the first bit of collective fundraising for LearnAsOne.

5 pairs of runners will haul themselves out of bed, just hours after then end of the Rugby World Cup semi-final and make their way to Clapham Common for a 10k run, with a twist. Each pair will be attached together. Yes, that’s right. Attached together. How? No-one is quite sure. But all will be revealed on Sunday and the evidence will be posted onto this blog and Facebook early next week.

Everyone at LearnAsOne would like to say a massive thank you to the runners and everyone who has been kind enough to dip their hands into their pockets to sponsor them.

If you want to take part, there is still time to sign up. And I’ve even promised that I’ll buy ever runner a thank you drink!

I myself will be running with the rather lovely Rebecca Aspin – and I wouldn’t be doing my job properly if I didn’t plug our online sponsorship page – www.bmycharity.com/steveandrebecca.

If anyone still has a voice left after the rugby on Saturday night I’m sure the runners would appreciate your support – the start is at an almost civilised 10am and the finish is slap bang in the middle of Clapham Common.

See you all on Sunday!
