On the 11/12th October 2008, 62 runners and walkers took turns at keeping the treadmills at The Fitness Bank going for 24 hours to raise money for LOROS, the Leicestershire and Rutland Hospice.

We didn't quite manage the 1,000km we were aiming for. However, we did manage 481km with ¹/₄ of the runners we were hoping for!

Well done and thanks to everyone who supported us. We're hoping to raise around £3,000, but this relies on the sponsorship money coming in. You can either drop in to the gym with a cheque - made out to LOROS - or cash. You can also use use our page at Justgiving.com, either to pay in your sponsorship money or just to make a donation:

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor our event. LOROS gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
