My last batch of fundraising ideas consisted of culinary delights and tasty treats. Great for raising money… not so good for the waistline!

Add Easter into the equation and x = need to exercise²

I have rallied up some troops in the office, those willing include:

Steve Willis – IT Manager

Jane Burns – Business Development Assistant

Louise McLaren – Project Leader

Ashleigh Wilson – Membership Development Coordinator

Paul Sharpe – Marketing and Communication Manager

Sally Reith – Supporter Relations Officer for the South

Together we will be taking part in the Great North 10k this July.  The run is a great opportunity to get fit for summer whilst simultaneously raising funds for Shared Interest Foundation; and for those of you taking part in the £1,000 challenge; you’ll be even closer to that holiday of a lifetime.

If you want to join in as part of the Shared Interest team just email me at andrea.wilkinson@shared-interest.com and I’ll send you all the information you need.

Of course, the Great North 10k isn’t the only available fun run event; there will be plenty more across the country. If you would like to take part in an alternative run, you can still raise money for Shared Interest Foundation. All sponsor forms and further details are available through Louise, louise.mclaren@shared-interest.com.

If running isn’t for you but you would like to sponsor the Shared Interest team, you can do so at http://www.justgiving.com/Andrea-Wilkinson0 , alternatively, please send a cheque payable to Shared Interest Foundation to, Shared Interest, no. 2 Cathedral Square, Groat Market, Newcastle, NE1 1EH.

Hopefully I’ll see you in July!
