Running for Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Runners taking part on behalf of CSSC are requested to commit to fundraising for Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. We’d need you to commit to £180 for 10K participants and £250 for Half Marathon runners.
The money raised by each runner is hugely appreciated by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. As a charity, the income Kew receives from donations is vital, accounting for a significant proportion of their income and will help secure the future not only of the gardens, but a global infrastructure of cutting-edge science and conservation work. RBG Kew’s aspiration is to end the extinction crisis and help create a world where nature is protected, valued by all and managed sustainably. Kew isn’t just a beautiful garden.
