BSES Leader Running Marathon
The London Marathon is one of life's great challenges; the atmosphere is second to none and the sense achievement is breathtaking. As a fundraising event nothing can compare with a marathon. Every year, thousands take to the streets, trying to raise money for causes close to their hearts.
BSES has been granted one Silver Bond Place in the Virgin London Marathon 2010. With a huge demand for places, we are very fortunate to be able to offer a place to one of our supporters.
BSES is proud to announce that Claire Hyne has been chosen to run for us.
She says:
“As a YE in 1991, BSES was hugely influential in my life at that point and went on to shape decisions for my future that still affect me today. I strongly believe in the ethos of BSES expeditions and the power they have on young people at a pivotal point in their life.
“I went as a leader on the 1996 expedition to Svalbard and in 1998 to Greenland because I wished to give something back to the Society. I wanted to help the YEs have as good a time as I did and for the expedition to be as influential for them as it was for me.
“My husband was a YE on the 1990 Spring Svalbard expedition, a leader on the Spring Svalbard 1992 and 1996 expeditions and the 1998 Greenland expedition. He, also, was a member of the BSES Council in 1999. We both highly endorse the Society and feel we have benefited greatly from the experiences we have had. The benefits are too numerous to list and not all of them are tangible. We have made great friends through BSES who feel similarly to us and, also, feel that BSES was a huge influence in their lives.
“We were amongst the first from our comprehensive school to participate in a BSES expedition. When we returned we were eager to spread the word and our enthusiasm was infectious. Since the early 90s, our school (Teign School, Devon) has regularly had people participate in BSES expeditions. We felt like the pioneers!
Everybody at BSES wishes Claire the best of luck!
