Oxford Half Marathon - Sponsor Caroline

Event date: Sunday 11th October

Thank you for considering sponsoring me for the Oxford Half Marathon on 11 October 2026. Why on earth have I taken on this challenge never having run further than 10k before?!  Two reasons:

• I have volunteered at Citizens Advice in Henley for six years and know first-hand how very important our work is to everyone in our community.  Like all charities, Citizens Advice in Oxfordshire relies on fundraising so that it can provide its services and running the Oxford Half Marathon for Citizens Advice is a small way in which I can help contribute;

• I have wanted to do a running race for a long time but never found the time (or motivation?) to commit!  Sadly, we lost our amazing Dad in December 2024, followed by Mum in March 2026.  Their absence leaves a huge gap.  Training for the Oxford Half is the perfect way for me to improve my fitness, tick off that goal of running a long-distance race and help fill the void left by losing Mum and Dad.

Citizens Advice Oxfordshire and I would be very grateful for any pennies or pounds in sponsorship.  In return I promise to put the training in and complete the half marathon without injury!

Thank you
Caroline
