Miles for Missing People Charity Run

15th March 2010

On Saturday Friends Reunited sponsored and took part in a brand-new running event, bringing together families of the missing, in aid of the Missing People charity.

A fantastic day was had by all, with over £20,000 raised for the charity, and more than 400 supporters involved in the 10K Hyde Park run. Runners included parents of missing children like Kate McCann, Nicki Durbin the mother of missing Luke Durbin, Rachel Elias the sister of former Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richey Edwards and celebrities Zoe Tyler and Kirsten O’Brien.

Check out the Sky News video coverage, and the event photo below.

 

Missing People provides outstanding support for missing children, vulnerable adults and families left in limbo. Last year the charity received more than 123,000 calls for help. Find out more about their great work at their website - http://www.missingpeople.org.uk

 

A big thanks from the Friends Reunited Team for all of those who took part in the event!
