A big thank you from Home-Start to each and every runner who pulled on their trainers and made the effort in the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon on Sunday 9th October. The largest number of Home-Start runners ever took part this year (37), all raising funds for vulnerable children and families experiencing hardship in the UK.
We hope that, from the starting gun to the personal welcome at the finishing line, we looked after you all like family on Sunday and that you really enjoyed the atmosphere. We hope you will participate next year and encourage your friends and colleagues to join in the fun with you, in what promises to be an even better event in 2012.
Why did so many choose to run for Home-Start?
Home-Start wants to see a society in which every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life. We work with the families who, for whatever reason, aren’t getting the help they need. Very often we’re the last chance they have. Home-Start depends heavily on donations from people like you to fund our work with parents and children. Everyone needs help at some time in their life ...so go on, help us to make a difference to a child's life today.

"A fantastic time was had by all. Home-Start UK have been very supportive before and during the event, everything had been organised brilliantly, even down to the little things like having someone to meet you at the end of the race, to having a masseur to give a fabulous rub down afterwards. I would most definitely like to run in next year's Royal Park Foundation Half Marathon for Home-Start UK".
