Fourteen runners are waving goodbye to the fat settee and saying hello to their running shoes in a bid to raise money for the Birmingham Community Foundation in the forthcoming 2009 EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon to be staged on Sunday 11 October at 10am.
The Birmingham Community Foundation helps more than 900 local grassroots and volunteer organisations right on the Swiss Chanel Ceramic Watch doorstep in Birmingham each year. Groups assisted include nurseries for Down's Syndrome infants, orchestras, exercise classes for the elderly, reading classes for stroke sufferers, and youth sports clubs including football and fishing.

"What's more is that the Birmingham Community Foundation can currently benefit from a Government Grassroots Endowment incentive that promises to match fund everything raised from the private sector and with Gift Aid this can increase donations even further. For every pounds 100 raised, the charity will receive pounds 256 with gift aid. For every pounds 200, we will receive pounds 512, the sums are easy. The running team is hoping to raise pounds 5000 which will of course be matched in the same way."
