FEW experiences match running in the ING New York Marathon.

With five bridges, five boroughs and two million spectators lining the course, this is an event that you should not miss.

So here is your chance to take your place on the starting line on Sunday, November 7, for the achievement of a lifetime, in an amazing city while helping people with life-limiting conditions. Sue Ryder Care provides health and social care for people with life-limiting and long-term conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, brain injury, stroke and cancer. Each year we provide four million hours of care and need to raise £74 million to fund our work.

We will pay for your flight and race entry, and in return we ask you to pay a deposit and fundraise for us. We will also support you every step of the way from sign-up to beyond that finishing line with all the training and fundraising advice you need.

If you are interested in joining our New York running team, please phone 01904 426920 or email lucy.nalton@suerydercare.org Lucy Nalton, Sue Ryder Care, Raylor Centre, James Street, York.
