I'm planning to run this race on behalf of St Nicks, a nature reserve and community centre off Hull Road in York. They are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the opening of the centre, so 10 of us are running 10k, and hoping to raise £1000 between us to help fund the centre and all the good work it does. This includes:
- maintaining the nature reserve (which has cycle paths, a stone circle and a kids play area, and is very nice if you ever fancy a visit); - providing a kerbside recycling service to the area surrounding the site; - providing training and advice on all sorts of environmental activities, including composting, wildlife photography and carpentry; - putting on lots of different events and activities, such as tree planting, foraging walks and give and take swap meets.
If you wouldn't mind giving a few quid that would be brilliant. I'm hoping to pull my weight and raise at least £100 myself, so anything you can contribute towards that would be gratefully received.
Cheers muchly, Lyndsey

Help! They're trying to make me exercise!
Lyndsey is raising money for 10k for St Nicks:
We have ten runners & walkers entering Jane Tomlinson's 10k run in York on 1st August. Please support their efforts. All the money raised will help develop York Environment Centre, currently celebrating its 10th anniversary year, as a hub for environmental action in York. We aim to raise at least £1,000 towards kitting out the Environment Centre with new interactive displays and examples of green home improvements.
Many thanks for your support!
