The Jane Tomlinson Appeal was established by the late Jane Tomlinson CBE to raise funds for children's and cancer charities.
Run For All
After completing the Ride Across America in 2006 Jane channeled her remaining energies into an event which is destined to provide a legacy for many years to come - The Leeds 10k 'Run For All.' The first event was held in June 2007 and has been held annually ever since.
'Run For All' is an exciting series of mass participation events which are open to people of all abilities. Whether you run, walk, wheel or watch you will have the opportunity, along with thousands of others, to participate in fantastic, charitable events in major city centre locations. The success of The Leeds 10k has provided a template which will be replicated elsewhere to deliver thrilling sporting spectaculars. We now have runs in Leeds, York and Hull. The events will not only allow you to aim for a very worthwhile personal goal but also allow you to raise funds for any charity of your choice. In addition all profits from our races will go to the charities. Follow in the steps of Jane and make a real difference to your life and the lives of others. So please come along and join in the fun, everyone will be made very welcome.
