THE RACE - 2012

We are lost for words.... 45.000DKK and still counting!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

We knew we would be busy, but this year was totally beyond our expectations.

Hey Racers...
What can we say. What a super day. You blew us pretty much away with your high spirits, your fantastic costumes, your patience. So many happy, smiling people. It's what makes this day so special for us.

Apologies
We had a limit of 600 racers this year, without really thinking we would get that many. It appears however that we had to turn away nearly 200 of you. For this we are sorry. We will look into a solution for this so that next year, every one that wants to run, can run. We hope we can fix it.

Thanks go to...
We have so many people to thank this year. Carlsberg, the participating pubs and all the people who helped out. We will be adding a new page shortly just for you guys.

The Charities

The real reason we do this...

Even though we probably have the best St. Patricks Day tradition in Denmark, with the best craic and the best people, we can't forget why we do this. Knowing that you have already raised WELL over 100.000DKK throughout the years for charity (total figure to come) makes the day just so much more special.

Again this year we will be supporting three charities. A Danish, an Irish and an International.

The Charities are:

Danske Hospitals Klovne

Danske Hospitalsklovnes primære formål er at sprede glæde blandt børn på danske hospitaler. Med humor, fantasi og nærvær vil vi gøre barnets ophold på hospitalet mere overkommeligt og øge barnets selvværd og styrke til at håndtere sin egen situation bedre.
Hvert år sender foreningen mere end tyve hospitalsklovne ud for at besøge hospi-taler i hele Danmark for at lette sygehusindlæggelser for børn.
Foreningen får ingen offentlig støtte og er dermed afhængige af donationer fra privatpersoner, fonde og sponsorer. Bidrag, der ikke er øremærkede – det vil sige doneret til et bestemt formål – er med til at give Danske Hospitalsklovne frihed til at handle der, hvor behovet er størst.

St Francis Hospice

St. Francis Hospice is a voluntary organisation under the care of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul.
St. Francis Hospice provides specialist palliative care to patients with advanced Cancer and Motor Neurone Disease.

Cambodian Children's Advocacy Foundation

The Cambodian Children's Advocacy Foundation (CCAF) is a Cambodian Non-Governmental Organization. It was established in early 2006.
The purpose was to create an NGO to provide a means to educate children, help in the reduction of poverty by addressing it's root causes, and to assist the Cambodian government in providing services for the most vulnerable segments of Cambodian society.
CCAF strives to combine early childhood education, varied community development programs, and economic assistance to address the root causes of rural poverty.

We will also be doing a page in the very near future, where we can show where and how you have helped throughout the years.
