I’d never run further than 5k before signing up for the Hackney Half for HARP. Honestly, I was terrified! On race day, the atmosphere was incredible. Running for HARP was great especially the WhatsApp Group

Why your fundraising matters

Each charity place at an event represents an important and valuable source of fundraising for us. As we have made an investment to be able to offer places at events, we therefore ask each applicant to pledge to raise a minimum level of sponsorship if they subsequently take part in an event. We are on hand whenever you need us to support you with your fundrasing.
We know that committing to raise a specific amount can seem a bit daunting which is why we’re here to help every step of the way. If you have a place with us and are struggling with your fundraising then please do get in touch. We have lots of experience with fundraising, and can give you some great advice, tips and fundraising materials to help you smash your target.
