Over £500 raised for GamesAid by the Mobile Pie Runners

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

On Sunday, myself, Dan and Aaron all took part in the grueling Bristol 10K, raising £530 for industry charity GamesAid, which distributes its funds on to a range of children’s charities.

All three of us finished under the hour – which is a fantastic achievement as it was all our first competitive run.

The results are as follows:

Aaron 54:40 – Position 4112
Dan 56:16 – Position 4690
Will 56:16 – Position 4692

It was a fantastic day and something I’ll look forward to again next year. However, you don’t have to wait until then to donate to the very worth cause, as the JustGiving page is still live at http://www.justgiving.com/mobilepierunners!

In other sporting news, me and Tom will be playing football over at Swindon Town FCs ground on Friday, also for GamesAid. Places are now all sold out, but you can come along and spectate! More info here.
