Marathon Marketing on a Mission to run the New York Marathon 2010
Mansfield 2020 member, Diane Carter, Managing Director of Marathon Marketing aims to run the New York Marathon in November 2010, raising money for both National Charity; ‘Get Kids Going’, providing sports equipment for children and young adults with disabilities, and local charity ‘Portland College for People with Disabilities’.
Diane stated “I have a strong empathy for these charities having been diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 24. This turnaround experience actually got me into short distance running and then long distance and I value and recognises the improved quality of life that sport offers to me and others with disabilities”.
Diane has set a target of £2,000 and will be raising the money by not only running the New York Marathon, but also taking part in several half marathons and 10k races throughout 2010 and inviting local businesses to enjoy the benefits of being the ‘sole sponsor’ for that particular event. All the individual sponsorships will be placed in the ‘pot’ for the total target figure and as a PR specialist, Diane will ensure maximum publicity in return. The businesses could also get really ‘hands on’ involved and join in any of the races or there is always the supporting 2 or 3 mile ‘fun run’. Great way to promote a ‘Healthy Company’!
Anyone interested in offering sponsorship to support these worthy causes please contact Diane on: 01623 404299, or email: diane@marathon-marketing.co.uk.or check out Diane’s personal New York Marathon information site on: http://www.newyorkmarathon.wordpress.com/. Gift aid will also be available.
