Molly Woolfson of the Headbox agency is about to make a giant leap to run her first ever half marathon! It sounds like a big step but in this series of spotlights on our runners and walkers, she tells us what persuaded her to join our team in support of Meeting Needs and her recipe for fund-raising success.

Molly said: “I am honoured to be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon this October. While I am excited for the carb loading (many many crumpets) and 14k runs at 5 am that lie ahead of me, I am much more driven by the fact that I will be running in support of The Meeting Needs charity.

“All the amazing work they do and the impact it has is what is really going to drive me to cross that finish line with a huge smile on my face.

“Not only will I be raising sponsorship through run clubs with my work colleagues, I am also looking forward to using my culinary skills to host dinner parties for my friends and family to share with them the important work that the charity does.

“This is the longest I have ever run, and I’m keeping everything crossed that I make it to the end!!

The Royal Parks Half Marathon is a great event industry gathering in London´s beautiful parks, starting and finishing in Hyde Park.
