Gloucester MP has urged local residents to join him at the Pudsey Fun Run in Kingsway on Saturday for Children in Need.
Richard Graham said, “I am absolutely not a Marathon Man. Just thinking about running a Marathon fills me with horror. I leave that to real men like City Council Leader Paul James. But I can run a mile – in fact probably 60,000 people in Gloucester could run a mile. And you don’t even have to run the whole mile of the Kingsway Fun Run if you don’t feel like it. You can run, jog, or walk for BBC Children in Need.
In fact I might even get Twiglet to run the first bit with me. She’s got four feet, which is an advantage, but she’s also 18, which for a dog is quite old – about 120 in human terms. So if she can do a bit of it then come on Gloucester!
See you at the Kingsway Sports Pavilion on Saturday the 19th November at 10am, with a Winston or a tenner to join in and support a good cause.”
Organiser Andy Jarrett said, “this event is thanks to the generous sponsorship of Michael Tuck Estate Agents and every penny raised will go to Children in Need. The first 140 entries will get a souvenir medal so I hope to see these go quickly!”
The entry fee is £5 for an adult and £10 for a family.
The race includes a diverse range of volunteers from Kingsway Parkrun, Kingsway Runners, Quedgeley Parish Council, and the Rotary Club of Severn Vale.
