Thanks to Sherie for sharing this info with VB readers. In her own words. Ed
Would you like to run around part of the Olympic Marathon course? You could do this, and support Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA) at the same time by signing up for The BUPA London 10,000 Run (27th May 2012).
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance originally had 20 places for this exciting event, but there are only 14 left so please act quickly if you would like to take up one of the remaining spaces!
Join Marathon-running paramedic
You will be in good company, as our very own Marathon running paramedic, Pat Andrews (pictured), will be taking part.
Registration fee is £25 (non- refundable) and we ask that you raise a minimum of £300 in sponsorship please.
You can register on-line. Please note that you cannot be entered into the event until the registration fee has been paid.
