Greenfingers Trustee and CEO of The HTA, Carol Paris is looking for “Santa’s Helpers” to join her in the 2014 Santa Run to raise money for Greenfingers.

Keen runner Carol told GTN Xtra “What a great idea to link into the Santa theme that will be generating so much business for garden centres, but this time to raise money for our industry charity.”

Already, Bob Hewitt - Klondyke Garden Centres, Adam Wigglesworth - Ayletts Garden Centre, Pat Adams - GCA and Chris Ramsden - Suttons Seeds have signed up to run with Carol, but more helpers are still required.

The Santa Run 2014 takes place at Victoria Park in London on Sunday 7^th December and Carol is looking for at least 9 other members of the garden industry to join her in the Greenfingers Santa Run team.  The run has options of 5k or 10k.

If you’d like to run with Carol and be a part of the Greenfingers Santa Run Team, please contact Carol via: carol.paris@the-hta.org.uk

According to the Santa Run website:  No previous experience is required for this event and with a bit of training the 5km or 10km distances should easily be within your capabilities. The spirit of the event is 'taking part' not 'winning' so you can run, jog or walk - you decide!
