2013 marks the eighth year that the Trust will be represented at the ASICS British London 10k. The run is a hugely popular and fun event which attracts around 30,000 runners of all abilities from around the world. Runners receive huge support and encouragement from the crowds who line the route and the atmosphere is amazing.

In its seven years, the run has raised an amazing £179,000 in sponsorship towards the cost of finding a treatment, or cure, for children with myotubular myopathy. Over 270 wonderful people have taken part on our behalf, many having run more than once – which proves that it really is an enjoyable experience! This event continues to be such a special and important event in the Myotubular Trust calendar.

Despite the chilly and occasionally wet weather, we had a fantastic time at the London 10k on Sunday 8th July.

Our fantastic team of runners and supporters did us and themselves proud and it’s fair to say that there were some very happy faces returning to our meeting point in Trafalgar Square, having all completed the route in very respectable finishing times.

We had a few runners with us yesterday who have now run each of the 7 years that the Myotubular Trust has taken part in this event as well as some ‘regulars’ - we take our hats off to you all – it genuinely wouldn’t be the same without you! We were also thrilled to meet several new runners who had never taken part in an event like this before – it was great to meet you all and we’re so glad that you enjoyed it.

It is always a humbling experience to see everybody en masse in their Myotubular Trust t-shirts and also to know the lengths that many of our runners have gone to in order to join us. There were some very long journeys made over the weekend – from as far afield as Norway – and some amazing juggling acts too. We are so very grateful to each and every runner and supporter for making this such a memorable and successful event – we are so very grateful.

Thank you!
