The Sport Relief Mile
On Sunday 21st March a group from ILG's Hampshire homes descended down to Hoglands Park in Southampton to do a 3 mile run in aid of Sports Relief.
The homes involved were Mimosa Lodge, Woodrow, Falcon Lodge, Oakcroft, Dryad Spinney, Lower St Helens and West Road.
Everyone set off at a great rate; the pace did slow down after about 5 minutes (unfit staff!) but the enthusiasm did not. Everyone walked together as a group and kept each other motivated. After 3 laps, those that had raced on ahead waited for the rest of the group and everyone crossed the finish line together.
A fantastic effort was made by all and the 3 miles was completed in a good time of 56 minutes. Everybody collected a goodie bag and a Sports Relief medal which was worn with pride, and the sense of achievement was felt by everybody. Together the team have raised over £500 for the charity!
After the success of Sports Relief 2010 we welcome the challenge of the next Charitable Event.
