In less than two weeks, over a hundred runners and walkers will take on the Run For All Asda Foundation Leeds 10K as part of the Run with the Rhinos team that are raising money for Leeds Rhinos Foundation.
Since 2008, Leeds Rhinos Foundation has entered a team to take part in the annual event. The Leeds 10K, which will take place on Sunday 7th July, is a major fundraising event in Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s calendar and this year hundreds of fans will join legends from the club to join the team.
Long term Rhinos fans Jim Mazza, along with his wife Trish, are two of the runners who have pledged to complete the 10k to raise money for the official charity of Leeds Rhinos.
“My motivation for doing the 10k is simply that I love the Rhinos and that Leeds Rhinos Foundation will benefit in terms of sponsorship raised,” said Jim.
“After having a health scare, I was advised to take two simple steps to get well and stay healthy. The advice was to change my eating habits and to move more. These two simple steps resulted in a four stone weight loss over seven months and I am feeling all the benefits that go with it.”
For Jim, the opportunity to be part of the Run with the Rhinos team and support Leeds Rhinos Foundation was a chance he did not want to miss out on.
“I’m not training as such, but I now have a companion as unbeknown to my wife Trish I signed her up for the 10k as well. We are in competition now to see which of us can generate the most money, of which she is currently leading!”
