British 10k London Run – Well Done Team Bader!!

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Congratulations to Team Bader who have completed another British 10k London Run in aid of the Foundation. A great achievement all of you.

Here is a report by Keith Delderfield, himself the veteran of several runs, who was there supporting his wife, Jess (who has the distinction of having competed in all ten of the London races) and the rest of the team.

HEAT NOT A PROBLEM FOR TEAM BADER

Despite being one of the hottest Sundays of the year in London, Sunday 11^th July didn’t present a problem to the members of TEAM BADER in the 2010 Asics British 10k London Run.

Just a few of the 27000

They joined a field of 27000 athletes ranging from elite International athletes to Fun Runners just doing their bit to raise money for their own favourite charity. Everyone had their own personal goals whether it was posting their best ever time, raising enormous sums for charity or just getting to the end in one piece. One thing was for sure, the atmosphere was undeniably fantastic as always and each of our TEAM BADER runners appeared to have enjoyed a super Sunday morning through the streets of London cheered all the way from the start at Hyde Park Corner to the finish on Whitehall by thousands of well wishers, supporters, family and friends.

We are indebted to everyone who supported our cause this year and hope that they will all be there on the start line on Sunday 10^th July 2011 – I am sure they will as most have run in the race many times now; our one newcomer to the event this year was Alan Dodington-Boyes although he is a veteran of Bader fund raising treks.

Our small but finely tuned team of elite athletes were:-

Katrina Christy, Graham Toms, Paul Layer, Keith Lebihan, Tessa Barfield, Vicky Edwards, Alan Dodington-Boyes, Jess Delderfield

If you would like to join us in 2011 and help raise a few pounds in much needed sponsorship then reserve you place now; we can’t guarantee the weather but we can guarantee that you will have a great morning, make some great new friends, be of great help to the charity with your sponsorship and get a cuppa & sticky bun at the end of your challenge!!
