Why Run For Charity?

There are lots of different reasons why people run for charity. Some run for a cause they care about, or that is close to their heart. Others run in remembrance for a loved one or friend who was supported by a charity’s good work.

Then, let’s face it, some of us run because we want to lose weight, and need an extra, positive push to get us off that couch! Running for a charity is a fantastic motivator for getting healthy.

But whatever your reason, running for a charity is an amazing thing to do, and should definitely be on your bucket list.marathon runner Karl
