Run For The Children

3 FEB2012

Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity are encouraging people of all abilities and ages to sign-up to the RBC Race for the Kids 5K event, which takes place on Sunday, June 24, 2012 in London's Battersea Park. The RBC Race for the Kids is the charity's flagship mass participation event and participants are encouraged to run, jog or even walk the 5k distance.

Each year, it sees families and friends united, enjoying a day out in aid of a great cause. After the run there will be lots of activities for the family to enjoy including stage acts, arts and crafts, face painting and bouncy castles.

There are usually celebrity participants too. Money raised from the event will help fund the essential redevelopment of Great Ormond Street Hospital and make a difference to the thousands of sick children who are treated at the hospital every year.

Supporters are encouraged to visit www.raceforthekids.co.uk to sign up. Alternatively you can contact the RBC Race for the Kids team on 020 7239 3164 or email raceforthekids@gosh.org. Entry fees are £15 for adults aged 16 and over, £10 for children and free for infants under 5.
