It’s really happening! Team Stratique are running for charity!! www.stratique.com

It’s really happening!

Last week, in a moment of madness, the idea of doing a fun run was batted around. It all got a bit out of hand and we ended up agreeing to do 10k run! This seemed reasonable enough until the idea of a half marathon cropped up! Somehow, due to the competitive nature of our office we decided we would do one … no no … lets do both! So here we are in our first week of training. We have just set up our just giving page www.justgiving.com/stratique as we are raising money for Midlands Air Ambulance and signed up for our 10k run in Kingsbury water park on the 27th November 2011. With new running trainers brought we (Andy, Mel, Charlotte and Graham) are starting to do a mile run a week, and will increase it by half a mile each week! What a plan!

We have built up a really good relationship with Sofia at the Midlands Air Ambulance so they were our first choice charity when it came to deciding who to run for. The fundraising aim is to raise £1250, as it costs this much to buy a helmet for the Helicopter Pilots who work tirelessly saving lives on a daily basis

The Midlands Air Ambulance is the only Charity responsible for funding and operating three Air Ambulances serving the communities of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands. This constitutes the largest air ambulance operating region in the UK. 

What is not widely known is that Midlands Air Ambulance receives no Government or National Lottery funding. £6 million is needed each year to keep its three Air Ambulances operational which is donated entirely by the public and local businesses.

Wish us luck, come and support us on the day and, if possible please give generously to this great cause.  Hopefully you will never need the Air Ambulance but, it's good to know they are on hand if you ever need them! www.justgiving.com/stratique.>
