Maggie Pavlou, a volunteer and Trustee of The People’s Kitchen charity, and her son Loukas have ran the Great North Run many times, as part of a team raising money for The People’s Kitchen.
When the early ballot place confirmation emails went out last week, they were both inundated with ‘is that you?’ messages, as the image used was a photo of them crossing the finish line last year in their People’s Kitchen running vests.
“What an honour, this is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of what we do”.
Everyone at The Kitchen is a volunteer and the charity relies on donations and fundraising to help feed up to 250 people per day, 365 days a year.
“If you were successful in getting a place in the ballot and would like to run for The People’s Kitchen, please get in touch ASAP info@peopleskitchen.co.uk
Every penny raised goes towards feeding the homeless, vulnerable and less fortunate people within our community,”
Maggie
The charity is encouraging supporters to cheer on their team on race day and contribute to their fundraising efforts, helping to make a real difference to those in need.
“If everyone who sees their confirmation email, thinks of us and simply donates even £5, we would be able to help feed more people in need and ensure that someone’s life is made just a little better that day”
