Good afternoon! Our team of 38 of your friends in the events industry are training hard for the 8-mile walk or run through London´s Royal Parks to raise money for Meeting Needs, the event industry charity foundation, in just two weeks time.

If you cannot take part, sponsorship of your colleagues or friends will help us reach our objective – to generate sponsorship revenue to help those less fortunate. The Royal Parks Half Marathon takes place on Sunday October 12, so your brave friends who are taking part in the run need your sponsorship now! To see the work we do at Meeting Needs, go to www.meetingneeds.org.uk
