On Sunday 8 October, our newest Paraplanner Amy Brinkman is taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for the Sarah Jayne Charitable Trust, a charity set up by our founder Paul in memory of his sister Sarah Jayne.
Amy has set a modest target of £500 and has already raised £455, a whopping 91% of her target. We’re hoping that with your support, Amy will smash her target and make her first ever half marathon even more memorable.
The 13.1-mile route, which starts and finishes in Hyde Park, was originally set up in 2008 and is London’s original half marathon. It’s known as being the greenest race of its kind in the UK, passing through four of the eight Royal Parks across central London including Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park, and Kensington Gardens. Runners also pass iconic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and the Royal Albert Hall.
Amy explains why this run is so important to her: “This is my first ever half marathon and I am so excited to take part, whilst raising money for a very worthy cause.”
Amy graduated with a master’s in Geochemistry from St Andrews in 2019 and decided to swap the study of rock formations for the study of financial plan formations, where she’s now working towards Chartered status.
It’s Amy’s first ever half marathon, so we’re hoping that the generally flat course (and the weather) is kind to her on the day. We’re incredibly proud that Amy has chosen to raise money for the Sarah Jayne Charitable Trust which supports under represented and underfunded community charities in Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
With just under a week left for training, Amy is focusing on getting as many miles in as she can. So, let’s give her a boost and help her smash her fundraising target out of the park (quite literally!)
