Subject Sponsor me and do your bit for charity
Body: Hi Guys,
As you may know on Sunday (1st July) I am running 10k in the London 10k run to raise as much money as I can for Brain Tumour UK.
The charity is really close to my heart and I want to help make a difference to people suffering from Brain Tumours and help raise awareness for such a great cause.
So, I am asking you all to dig deep into your pockets and visit www.justgiving.com/aislyenehw and sponsor me for sunday. Every penny counts so please please please give as little or as much as possible!
Wish me luck...
Ash xxx |

Over 20,000 runners took part in the 2007 British 10K London Run this morning. The race was won by Stephano Baldini of Italy, in a time of 29 mins and 27 secs. Second place was taken by UK runner Phil Wicks, in a time of 29.33, and third place was secured by Simon Tonui of Kenya, in a time of 30.35.
The first female runner was Hilda Kibet of the Netherlands, in 10th place, with a time of 32.34. Second female was taken by Catherine Ndereba of Kenya, last year's top female, in 15th place with a time of 33.11. Third female was Banuela Katesigwa of Tanzinia, in 30th place with a time of 35.31.

| BTW, Aisleyne's race number was 6839. I checked the 10k run's photo site for a photo, but no luck...

The main site have updated their gallery, but I can't see Aisleyne there either...

| Reading through this thread and, more particularly Aisleyne's post about it in the Hi Ash thread, I notice an important piece of information missing. As it's an indicator of what a true friend Aisleyne can be, I hope she won't mind me posting it here. What Ash didn't mention is that her pal Lisa was rather overcome, both physically and emotionally, after completing the run. Aisleyne was actually supposed to be a VIP guest at the Princes' Charity Concert at Wembley that afternoon/evening. (I'd prefer not to post who Aisleyne told me she was supposed to be sitting next to). In the circumstances, Ash decided not to go but to stay and keep Lisa company for the remainder of the day. |
