Belfast Business Centre Client Louise Anderson in Charity Marathon Run

Louise Anderson from Amaze Technology has asked us to let everyone know about her participation in the Belfast Marathon for charity.

Myself (Louise) and 4 other friends are running the Team Relay at the Belfast Marathon taking place on the 2nd May 2011. Whilst we all love running we wanted to help a local charity benefit from the cause. Therefore we will be running in aid of Armagh Junior Gateway Club.

A little information about the club:
Armagh Junior Gateway Club is a voluntary organisation for children and young people from 7-18 years who have a learning +\or physical disability. Services available to these young people are limited and it takes great dedication and time from those volunteers involved to keep the club available. The club offers the young people an opportunity to socialise, build their confidence, self-esteem and independence while developing many interpersonal skills. It also provides parents and carers with a period of respite. If you would like to know more please get in touch.

If anyone would like to sponsor us and have a spare penny or two to give, however small the amount the club and ourselves would very much appreciate it. If you wish to donate, please ask at the Belfast Business Centre Reception and they will contact me.

Thank you for your time and support.
