Just nine places left in this year's Royal Parks Half Marathon
You've got to move fast if you want to run in this year's Royal Parks Half Marathon; and we don't only mean by running! Home-Start had 50 places for runners in this year's event, and we only have nine left. So you'll have to get a move on if you want to join us. Read all about it, and then find out how to register. All you need to know is on this page.
For the third year running, Home-Start has supporters taking part in the event. This year it's on 10th October and takes runners through some of the most beautiful royal parks in London, past famous landmarks like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.
The 23 runners who ran for Home-Start in 2009 raised £17,000 between them, and enjoyed themselves so much that some are running for us again this year.
One said: "I just wanted to say thank you. The Royal Parks Half Marathon was really great fun and it was an absolute pleasure to be running for Home-Start. You really made the occasion enjoyable and all the Home-Start runners feel special - from your regular email updates/phone calls through to the picnic at the end of the run."

To take part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon, runners will need to raise £500 each. This can be done simply - perhaps by setting up a Justgiving page and asking your friends, family and work colleagues to sponsor you online. No excuses if they are in Australia; it's all electronic and can be done at the click of a button!
Money raised will help us to continue to help fragile families get stronger.
