London
Marathon - 17th April 2011
The 2011 event takes place on Sunday 17th April. If you would
like to apply for a place we recommend the twin-track approach of
applying for a Ballot Place, and also for a guaranteed (or Golden Bond)
CRY place via CRunCH. Demand for Golden Bond places always exceeds the
number of places available, so this dual approach will give you the best
chance of getting a place. |

half-marathons, 10ks and other running events, these are listed below AND

South Coast Charity Walk in
memory of Alice Lyte
"Alice
Lyte passed away suddenly from a cardiac arrest in December 2009. Her
death was so unexpected that all her friends and family are still struggling to
come to terms with it. Alice was just 23 years old, she was a close friend to
so many people and gave so many smiles to us all throughout her life. I have
been wanting to do something for Alice, something to celebrate her life and
raise money for CRY. It is hard to come to grips with the loss of somebody - if
there is something you can do in their memory, something that they themselves
would love to have done that you can do for them, whilst at the same time
raising money to help prevent similar tragedies then this is a great thing.
Alice adored the Cornish Coast, so i have decided walk the whole 610mile coast
path for her, from Minehead all the way around to Poole. I will be completing
the walk on my own." Jacob Smith

National Park. On
clear days the views are incredible in all directions,
especially north to Marrakech and south to the Sahara. Climbing
Toubkal does not require any previous mountaineering experience,
just determination to scramble up innumerable scree slopes! Take
on the challenge of reaching the summit and you’ll take a real
sense of achievement back home with you. |

Namibia Project
Namibia is one of the few places on earth where the natural
environment rules supreme. This is the land of the famous desert
elephant, as well as black rhino, giraffe, zebra, springbuck,
oryx, kudu and hyena. The area is vast and children can travel a
long way, primarily by foot, to attend the A. Gariseb Primary
School, which offers hostel facilities that can accommodate up
to 200 pupils.
Whilst some previous renovations have been made to the school
buildings, many of them are still in a state of disrepair, and
any further renovations will greatly improve the learning
environment and be of real benefit to the children. Previous
experience is not essential, but a willingness to help out with
manual work is required. |
