Run For<\/a> is a fundraising challenge with a difference. Run a marathon in a month at your own pace, and be motivated every step of the way by an incredible child supported by Sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the perfect challenge for you if you\u2019re looking to push yourself this October, but want to fit it around your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of why it\u2019s time to sign up to Run For<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Say goodbye to pre-run procrastination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Run For will give you all the motivation you need to lace up those running shoes. When you sign up, you\u2019ll be matched one of three amazing cheerleader kids. Remi, Pauric and Ernie are all supported by Sense, and they can\u2019t wait to give you all the encouragement you need to keep running in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll be with you every step of the way, sending you good luck messages, and cheering you on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no mean feat taking on a marathon in a month, but with Remi, P\u00e1uric and Ernie there to cheer you on, you\u2019ll be out of the door before you know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t

2. Every penny you raise will help<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With every metre you run, you\u2019ll be making a difference to the lives of kids we support like Remi, P\u00e1uric and Ernie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more you raise, the more we can do. Your fundraising could mean more Virtual Buddying sessions so disabled people feel less alone. It could mean more people get to go on an accessible Sense Holiday, suited just to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What better reason to sign up<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Go further than ever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might never have thought you’d run a marathon, but spreading it over a month will help you tick it off your bucket list. And while 26.2 miles in a month might sound a lot, you don\u2019t have to do it all at once! Take it day by day and by the end of the month, who knows, you could set a record for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By giving yourself a clear goal \u2013 and with the support of the child you\u2019re matched to \u2013 you\u2019re making it more likely that you\u2019ll run further and faster than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Lift your mood as the nights get darker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s not pretend that the nights drawing in isn\u2019t a bit miserable, especially with the scorching summer we’ve had. But getting out for a run regularly this October will give you the lift you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get that blood pumping to get the endorphins flowing by committing to run throughout October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
