With each charity place, we ask runners to pay a registration
fee of £50 and a minimum sponsorship of
£1,700. It's important to consider this commitment
carefully when applying - we rely on the sponsorship raised to fund
our work helping people with Parkinson's.
When allocating our places, we look at:
- Whether you have Parkinson's or a connection to Parkinson's eg
friend or family member
- How you plan to raise the minimum sponsorship - the more
detail, the better!
We will let all runners know whether they have been successful
or not, by phone or email on Friday 19 October 2012.
