We have been lucky over the years to receive support from various groups and companies who have adopted us as their charity for the year - and this year is no exception!

Thank you to the following for making us their charity of the year:

Each year BRACE has guaranteed places in the Flora London Marathon and the Bristol Half Marathon. If you like running and would like to run for BRACE - please contact us. If you already have a place in a run but would like to support BRACE through getting sponsorship - contact us and we will supply sponsor forms, literature to explain who we are and a running top!

Why not get together with a group of friends and run an event of your own - we will help you to get it off the ground if you need us and publicise your event in our Newsletter. It doesn't need to be a big event - it can be anything from a small lunch party to a coffee morning to a glittering black tie dinner - just have a go and, above all, enjoy yourself!

We are always looking for sponsors to take on some of the overheads for events or the production of our BRACE literature. In return for sponsorship, BRACE will fully acknowledge the sponsor in the event programme, in the Newsletter, on the web site or on the sponsored literature. This means that, for a fraction of the normal cost, the sponsor's name will be seen by at least 3,000 supporters in and around the South West!

If you would like more information on sponsorship opportunities, please contact the BRACE Appeal Office or fill in the online form.

We are grateful to all our past sponsors. Some of these include:

• Osborne Clarke
• SWEB Energy
• Natwest
• Waitrose
• Bristol Water
• Roman Glass Limited
• HSBC
• Executive Travel UK
• Virgin Atlantic
