10K Report by Mel Spring, July 2009
Our amazing team of 70+ runners and countless supporters began arriving at our meeting point at 8:00am in St. James' Park on this cool, bright Sunday morning. People came from far and wide to take part with many having travelled from as far afield as Wales and Scotland and we were delighted to have been joined by friends both old and new.
After a few group photographs and a few words of encouragement, the runners headed to the start line where they waited patiently for the run to begin. The atmosphere in the build up to the run was amazing; nerves, excitement and finally adrenalin! Finally, the 27,000 participants were on their way and the streets of London were filled with runners of all shapes, sizes and abilities and amongst them were our 70 wonderful runners all looking very sharp in their Myotubular Trust t-shirts. Looking especially good were the fantastic team running in memory of dearest Nathaniel Jenkins, who were also sporting bright pink leggings and were certainly easy to recognise amongst the crowds! Our very own wizard, Dan Joyce, certainly didn't go unnoticed either on this, his fourth run for the Trust, in memory of Archie!
Everybody completed the route despite the intense heat and sunshine that chose to break through shortly after the race began, and we're glad to say we had no casualties. Well earned medals were proudly worn and many runners stayed behind to graze and picnic before journeys home were made.
Thanks to Lynn Alleway for taking some fantastic photos and to John Spring who also took some great photos and put together the youtube film for us.
It really was a fantastic day; some people ran for us for the fourth time this year which only goes to show that this annual event really is fun! You really don't have to be a world class runner to take part and it's a great opportunity to get together with other supporters and to meet some of the families affected by myotubular myopathy. So we hope to hear from you next year. Please let us know if you would like a free debenture place?
