Running for Restorative Justice
This is a blog by our Fundraising and Public Relations Officer Lucy Harris
Why me? have completed our first ever team sponsored event! On Saturday, our team of fundraisers ran over 35km at the Lee Valley Velopark in London, to raise money in support of Why me?’s work to transform lives through Restorative Justice.
We want to say a big thank you to our runners! We’re so proud of their achievements, and their impressive finishing times –
-
- Sula ran her 10k in 59 minutes and 39 seconds!
-
- Duncan ran his 10k in 56 minutes and 22 seconds!
-
- Lucy H ran her 1 mile in 10 minutes and 9 seconds!
-
- Lucy J ran her 5k in 35 minutes and 41 seconds!
-
- Gabriel ran his 5k in 27 minutes and 27 seconds!
-
- Abaz ran his 5k in 27 minutes and 25 seconds!
By taking part in this race, our fundraisers have raised an incredible £1,315 so far, thanks to the kind donations from 50 supporters! This is a huge achievement and will allow us to deliver comprehensive Restorative Justice to more victims of crime. As a small charity, all of the donations we have received will make a huge difference and enable more people to experience the life-changing benefits of Restorative Justice.
