From Howard Court,
A 5K RACE AND 3K fun run is being held this summer on Sunday September 11th at Sandwell Valley to raise money for a charity and victim support set up in memory of three members of the same Sandwell Family who were killed in the Tunisian terrorist attack. 19 year old Joel Richards , Uncle Adrian and grandfather Patrick Evans all died last June when a gunman opened fire on tourists on a beach in Tunisia killing 38 people
Joel was just 19 and was a highly respected young football referee and sporting Ambassador in Sandwell ,with a love of running The Smile for Joel Charity set up by the Men’s Family and working with Sandwell leisure trust and Victim support The Run For Joel run has been set up ,with proceeds being shared between the smile for Joel charity and victim support .
I am writing to you today to ask the support of Tipton Harriers in having the event info on the CLUB web page and a general push if possible with your distance coaches to help publicise the event through your web site In memory of a fine young Man
IT’S A WEEK BEFORE THE MIDLAND RELAYS ON A VERY SIMILAR COURSE – SO WOULD BE GOOD PREP RACE AND MAYBE CLUB TRIAL FOR TEAMS .
