OLOL Pre-school Fundraising

Way back at the end of summer last year I volunteered to help raise money for Our Lady of Lourdes Pre-school. Little did I know that several months later I would be dragging myself out in all weather trying to get fit in order to run a half marathon, which is a much greater distance than I have ever run before....Mo Farah I am not!
To those of you that don't know me, my name is Paul Sanders, father to George and Luke. Luke currently attends the pre school and is in his final year before moving on to school. My wife Rebecca is joint vice chair of the committee so has been extremely encouraging of my efforts as you would expect! Luke has had a great time at the Preschool and his care has been fantastic, he also attends the after-school club with his big brother George who is a pupil at Our Lady of Lourdes School. Now its time for me to give something back with your help of course.

The pre school is a registered charity run by a committee of parents and it provides a secure and stimulating environment for all children to play and flourish. Fundraising is vital to support the organisation and this is why I have signed myself up to run the Brentwood Half Marathon on the 22nd March 2015. The funds we raise will allow the committee to enhance the play environment for the children including some new furniture and play equipment.

Training, as I mentioned earlier is well under way and I hope to update you all on my progress over the next month leading up to the big day. Feel free to encourage, abuse (not physically please as I need to be able to run!) or ridicule me, but most importantly, please dig deep and help me hit my target.
