John Johnston, the owner of Health and Safety for Beginners and employee of FMC Technologies, will run the full Edinburgh Marathon on 25 May 2008 with two other colleagues from FMC Technologies - Alan and Sheena - in aid of The Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS). The team building event, which is being backed by FMC Technologies, began in November 2007.
Alan, Sheena and John form the HSE Group at FMC Technologies and are aiming to help raise awareness for healthy living for the 600 strong workforce as well as raise money for a worthy cause.
CHAS is a Scottish charity established to provide hospice services in Scotland for children with life-limiting conditions. The hospice offers professional care, practical help and emotional support to the whole family from the day they are referred until the death of their child and beyond.
A blog has been set up to keep track of the event called First Time Marathon - http://www.firsttimemarathon.blog.co.uk/
The target for fundraising has been set at £3,000. If you would like to make a donation to help meet the target, you can donate securely online using the dedicated fundraising page at JustGiving - http://www.justgiving.com/firsttimemarathon
The First Time Marathon team would like to thank you for your support.

One side effect of the new upgrade is that members may have some difficulty in logging on to the new forums for the first time due to incorrect passwords. This is a known bug with the conversion/upgrade software. If you are affected by this unavoidable side effect, please Contact Us to have your account manually reactivated. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Another side effect is that our discussion forums RSS feed is temporarily unavailable for the time being.
All that remains for us to say is thank you for your continued support and we hope you enjoy your new health, safety and environmental discussion forums.
