Staff members Alexandra Buskie, Ben Donaldson and Richard Nelmes successfully completed the Royal Parks Half Marathon last Sunday, raising money for UNA-UK. We would like to take this opportunity to bestow a huge thank you on all those who have donated to the cause, with total donations already having eclipsed £1,500!
As a charity, UNA-UK's work is dependent on the generosity of individuals, institutions, and charitable trusts and we are very grateful for the support that our members and supporters have shown by sponsoring the team.
If you would like to donate but have not done so yet it is still possible! Simply visit the team’s fundraising page. Any donation, no matter how small, would be gratefully received.
This initiative follows in the footsteps of UNA-UK’s former director, Malcolm Harper, who sadly passed away in May 2013. Among other things, Malcolm is fondly remembered for his fundraising walks, the last of which was from John O’Groats to Land’s End. Malcolm used these walks as an opportunity to raise awareness of international issues and connect people in the UK to the work of the UN.
For those of you interested, here are the team's running times:
Rich Nelmes 01:51:46
