Hi Everyone, I represent Kidscan, the children’s cancer research charity – Kidscan.org.uk We’re a growing charity, and that’s really thanks to our amazing supporters who take part in all kinds of events for us every year! We don’t receive government grants for our research, so whatever supporters are able to raise by taking part in events really is vital. Rather than making several threads for events which we would love you to take part in, I thought it would be better if I combined them into one! If you have any questions about any of them, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! We have 160 places in this year’s Great North Run, and we would like to offer you one, for FREE! No entry fee, no waiting for a ballot place. For free. We ask people who sign up to send us a post-dated deposit cheque, which is only cashed if that person cannot take part in the run, or if they cannot raise the sponsorship target of £275, but I’m sure you’ll be able to hit that no problem! You can sign up for a free place by clicking here – http://tinyurl.com/Kidscan-GNR We are offering our places to you for free in the hope that you’ll be able to raise a s much as possible to fund our vital research into childhood cancers. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Many thanks. The Kidscan Team
