Champion Sports Cork City Marathon and Marathon Relay 2008....Part 8 of 12 by Mick Dooley, Cork BHAA(Mick Dooley of the Cork Business Houses Athletic Association is writing a 12 part series of articles for the Evening Echo. He has very kindly sent them on to me so that I can put them up here on this blog. They are written with the beginner in mind. Part 8 is based on 5 weeks to go, about the 28th of April)
Run for Charity
Running a marathon is a great achievement. It gives great personal satisfaction having completed several weeks of intensive training.
However, you can also help many other people if you decide to run for a charity. This can make your event much more rewarding, knowing, that you are helping other people while also achieving your goal. You may think that your effort to raise money for charity is of little significance but all charities are based on small amounts of money raised on a continuous basis. So no matter how small your donation is, it will be gratefully received by the charity of your choice. If you have not already found a charity to run for, you can view a comprehensive list of registered charities on the marathon website. You can contact the charity of your choice directly for your race pack.
Cork city marathon has not endorsed any particular charity for this year’s event but, has made a comprehensive list of charities available to view, on their website.
Charity running is a great way to enable runners to prepare and compete in a classic event as well as raise significant funds for a cause of their choice.
