Supporting disabled participation in the BUPA Great Run series
Your opportunity to take part in the BUPA Great South Run 2006 - get involved now!
Twelve BUPA employees have got together to help promote, support and enable disabled participation in the BUPA Great South Run 2006, by securing a number of guaranteed places in the event.
We are working alongside the English Federation of Disability Sport and UK Deaf Sport to make it as easy as possible for you to participate.

If you are up for the challenge, we will support you by:
- advising you on how to book your place
- offering training information and advice
- providing information on the best way to get to and from the event
- offering encouragement and if needed, assisting you around the course
- BUPA Community Connections will fund-match money you raise for your registered charity

If you do decide to raise money for a charity through sponsorship, why not consider using the website www.justgiving.com. This secure site allows users to donate via credit or debit card, making collection much easier once the race is over. Your chosen charity must be registered with the site in order for donations to be made to it. Registration is easy, so get in touch with your chosen charity if it does not appear on the list.
You should also contact your chosen charity and let them know you are intending to raise money on their behalf - many charities will be able to provide you with sponsorship forms with their logo and may also give you a T-shirt to run in.
Places are limited - please contact us as soon as possible:
Contact Sarah Brown by telephone on 020 7656 3781 or via email at brownsar@bupa.com
Don't forget to consult your GP before starting any new exercise programme.
