25 March - How can I help ?

2010-03-25 - 0

Many of you have asked how they could help us. Here are the answers :

  • You can donate, and encourage other people to donate.

  • You can help us on one event of the following :

  1. On Saturday 10th of April, in the morning, organizers of the Paris Marathon organize “the Breakfast Run“, on the eve of the Marathon. This is a small-only-for-fun competition for families and children. The Autour des Williams association will be present make-up stands, games, drawing parties, etc. We need you to help us as a benevolent on that event. Please contact : Pauline Delpierre, paulinedelpierre@yahoo.fr

  2. On Sunday 11th of April, during the Paris Marathon, a big group of supporters will be present at KM 36 : join them and clap and cheer at the marathon runners. The group will be present from 11:00 to 14:00 with 150 T shirts for those who wish to get them… Contact : Pauline Delpierre, paulinedelpierre@yahoo.fr

  3. On Sunday 11th of April, the Autour des Williams association organizes an after-marathon party in a beautiful space not far from the finishing line. We need benevolent people to help to organize the party (starting 11:00 AM), help during the party (from 12:00 to 16:00 PM) and cleaning up (after 16:00). Contact : Pauline Delpierre, paulinedelpierre@yahoo.fr

Please, contact us if you plan to be present (contact : Pauline Delpierre, paulinedelpierre@yahoo.fr), we are trying to set everything up in advance.

24 March - 5 K

No, these are not the first 5 kilometers of the Paris Marathon (which, like all marathons, measures 42 kilometers and 195 meters)…

This means we just passed the 5 000 € donations line, as can be seen.

Please spread the word : you can donate for a specific runner, or donate  for the event. Every euro counts (and, for French citizens, ensures a  66% tax deductibility).

Please note : no runner gets the money ; your donations go directly to the Autour des Williams genetic syndrom association.
