Sponsored events
Sponsored events are a great way to raise money for the centre while having some fun at the same time, or achieving a challenge, or having an adventure beyond your wildest dreams! The sky is the limit - give us a call to discuss your ideas!
Marathons
MS Therapy Centre Lothian is an affiliated charity for:
- the Edinburgh Marathon Festival (May 2012): click here to sign up: www.edinburgh-marathon.com
- the Kilomathons that take place in Derby (March 2012) and Edinburgh (April 2012). A kilomathon is 26.2km (16.3 miles), perfect training for a marathon. The Scottish event takes the runners from the Highland Showground across the Forth Road Bridge and back again. There is also a half-kilomathon (13.1 km) and a mini-kilomathon (2.6 km or 1.6 miles). Click here for information on all the kilomathons in the UK where you will also find links to many other races and fun runs to take part in.
