We Own the Night 10k 10/05/14

I am running the We Own the Night 10k in my NIA Project t-shirt, not the corporate stuff sadly attached to this race. I’ll be thinking of Margaret Muller as I run. She was brutally murdered whilst running round Victoria Park, where tomorrow’s event takes place, in 2003. She was a Hackney-based artist originally from the USA.

I will donate my ‘goodie’ bag (see pics on @gillygill) consisting of a N*ke running t-shirt, bag and, apparently ‘exclusive’, Alex Monroe designed finisher’s necklace to the highest donator to the charity I’m doing MANY runs for, The NIA Project in East London, a local charity. They help women and children who have experienced violence. My donation page is: http://www.justgiving.com/Gill-Ward2 Highest donator wins the stuff.

I’ll be remembering Margaret Muller and will run in her memory. I didn’t know her but I’ve heard and read about her horrendous murder. Let’s not forget Margaret Muller x
