A TEAM of 25 staff and friends from the University of Worcester and city charity Worcester Snoezelen will take part in this year’s Bupa Great Birmingham Run.
The team signed up to complete the 13-mile half- marathon after some gentle persuasion from the university’s capital projects funding manager Mark Evans.
This year Mr Evans and his team have decided to support Worcester Snoezelen, the University of Worcester’s charity of the year.
The fund-raising team has already started training for the half-marathon, which takes place on Sunday, October 23.
Mr Evans said: “We are delighted to be running for Worcester Snoezelen in order to raise much-needed funding so that they can continue their hard work.
“We’ve set a target of £1,000, but I hope to beat that.”
Worcester Snoezelen is an independent charity which provides leisure and therapy facilities for people with disabilities.
Jane Roberts, project manager of Worcester Snoezelen, said: “We are delighted that once again the University of Worcester is supporting our organisation.”
