In our focus series on our runners and walkers in The Royal Parks Half Marathon, Tinique Hay of Hay Events explains what persuaded her to support Meeting Needs and says she is now looking for running partners to train with her:
“Raising money for charity is very close to my heart because, my Granny Ann has dementia so I love to give back by stepping outside of my comfort zone with activities that challenge me to not give up and to keep going to help raise money for a good cause.
“I have never run a Half Marathon before, let alone run long distances. So to get myself ready for the day I have eased myself into running in my park and measuring my distance with a running app. But I need all the support I can get with my training so I`m looking for someone or a group of people who live in East London who would want to come train with me. I am very much proud to be a part of Meeting Needs this year and cannot wait for the day to come!”
The Royal Parks Half Marathon is a great event industry gathering in London´s beautiful parks, starting and finishing in Hyde Park. If you would like to take part in The Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday, October 13, 2024 and raise funds for Meeting Needs, please contact kconway@meetingneeds.org.uk
