ASICS British 10k London Run Posted by Andrew Barrow, 1:14am 25/06/2007. Mr Chapman is always up early on a Friday... not because he wants to get the weekend started as soon as possible or the thought of the afternoon wine tastings, but because he's at an independent business networking group called Oxygen just up the road in Oxford.
He actually set the group up with a few business friends; not only because he was "impatient with established networking groups", but also because he was determined that business should start to give something back.
So Oxygen has adopted a local charity to support - Helen and Douglas House in Oxford. They're hospices for children and young adults. Helen House was actually the world's first hospice for children.
This coming Sunday (1st July), Mr Chapman is donning running shoes (water wings perhaps unless the weather improves!) and hoping to put plenty of sponsorship money "where his mouth is" by running the ASICS British 10K London Run.
He is also generously pledging 10% of profits from all sales on Sunday to the cause.
"Over the last six years The ASICS British 10k London Run has provided a cost effective platform for hundreds of UK charities and tens of thousands of individuals from Great Britain and from around the world to take part in the totally unique unrivaled experience of running the world's greatest race route through the heart of London - on roads closed to traffic - passing many of the worlds most famous historic and iconic landmarks." ^ Back to top
