Superhero Run!
The doitforcharity.com Super Hero Run is a fantastic running event taking place in London's Regent's Park on Sunday 15th May 2016.
Over 2,000 people are expected to take part raising funds for hundreds of different charities and now this is your chance to join them and raise much needed funds for Different Strokes!
No previous experience is required and with a bit of training the 5 or 10k distance should easily be within your capabilities. The spirit of the event is 'taking part' not 'winning' so you can run, jog or walk - you decide! Places are £25 which will include your Super Hero costume!
You can book your place by clicking the link : https://www.doitforcharity.com/book-online.aspx…
