The race is on for this years RJDA annual staff charity event – The British 10k London run.

Up to 10 RJDA staff members, 25,000 runners and 40,000 spectators will be assembled along part of the route used for next years 2012 Olympic Marathon.

Join the RJDA team on the start line at Hyde Park corner on July 10th at 09:35 as the race winds its way past London Eye, Big Ben, Downing Street and other famous London landmarks.

Will Chris’ knee hold, Billy’s stag weekend materialise or Lee’s ankle actually mend in time to even start training?

Please help us to help our chosen charities, as always your donations are always very gratefully received.

That was the cry from ACDC UK – and of course we have done!

Help for Heroes raises funds for the wounded in Britains current conflicts……….

“It’s about the blokes, our men and women of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes.”

And so do we – which is why RJDA have designed and printed all of the leaflets, flyers and outdoor banners required to advertise this great event free of charge and wish everyone involved good luck in their fundraising event. If you would like to donate to this wonderful charity you can do at www.helpforheroes.org.uk/donations.html

Fast forward a few months and a select few dare devils amongst the RJDA team will be free falling at 120 mph, 10,000 feet above the Nottinghamshire countryside.

Lee Day, Chris Reynolds, Andy Gilmore, Ross Ballinger and Ben Edwards are our high flyers that have chosen to stand at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet with the noise of the wind and the engines ringing in their ears with only the outline of distant fields below. They will then lean forward out of that doorway and fall forwards into the peace and quiet of the clouds, diving down through the air free falling at over 120 miles per hour. Their canopies will then open and they will begin their descent steering themselves back down to the ground below ………. Well, that’s the plan!

For the guys to head to the skies we need your help! Our aim is to raise £2,000 for the national road safety charity BRAKE that campaigns for zero deaths on our roads.

Every week 49 people are killed on Uk roads. Traffic is the biggest killer of 15-24 year-olds, and the third biggest killer of children aged 5-14, after cancer and diseases of the nervous system.

Please help us to help this worthwhile charity. Its very quick and easy to do – Just log onto http://www.justgiving.com/RJDAskydive - your donation will be very gratefully received.
