“My BUPA 10K run for Action Against Hunger was great fun. It was enjoyable to run at such a huge national event for a charity where you know the money you are raising is going to good cause and directly to those that need it most. The training was tough, but it was all worthwhile at the finish line!”
– Michael Hershman, Bupa 10k 2011
