About the event
Whatever your age, your fitness levels or running ability the Adidas Women's Challenge is for you!
It's 5K fun run...or walk...for women, taking place in three cities across the UK - London's Hyde Park, Birmingham city centre and Liverpool's Sefton Park on the 7th September 2008.
Training and taking part in the Challenge may be even more fun if you team up with friends? You can walk, jog, run - it's your choice! the main thing is to enjoy yourself and celebrate your achievement!
You will have the full support of the fundraising events team and we'll send you out a free pack to help you get in shape, sponsorship forms, a trendy vest to run in, and be there on the day to take photos and cheer you on!
If you would like to take part send an email now with your name, address and contact number to the fundraising events team for an application form.
Why I ran: “My son was diagnosed with O.C.D. when he was 11. He was bullied and the teachers were not familiar with his problem. In the end he was so distraught we had to take him out of school.
Anyway cutting a long story short, and after a lot of heart ache, 11yrs later we are finally getting the help we so desperately needed back then. It was after my son Paul’s last visit to hospital for 6wks, that we were introduced to Rethink. We had help at last!
Paul is now getting the help he deserves and I’m sure he will eventually lead a better quality of life.
This is the reason I feel so passionate and why me and my daughter ran the Women’s Challenge for Rethink this year!
I think everyone needs to be educated about mental illness. Raising awareness by getting involved with Rethink has got to be the right way forward.” Kathy Hinton, Birmingham Running Team 2007.
