Terrence Higgins Trust Runners Get ‘hot And Sweaty’ To Raise Awareness Of HIV In Bristol Half Marathon
August 06th, 2010
A team of staff and volunteers from HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) will be running the Bristol Half Marathon on Sunday 6th September. The team aim to raise awareness of HIV by wearing customised ‘I’m getting hot and sweaty for Terrence Higgins Trust’ T-shirts and red ribbons as they complete the 13.1 mile challenge.
HIV remains the UK’s fastest-growing serious health problem. The most recent figures show that, in 2007, 303 people were newly diagnosed with HIV in the South West area. That same year, 2,365 people needed HIV care in the region, a 12% increase on 2006.
Pete Connor, Centre Manager for THT in Bristol, said: “We’re really pleased to be competing in the Half Marathon this year. Every member of our team knows someone who has been affected by HIV, so it’s great they will use this opportunity to raise both awareness of the condition and funds to support people living with HIV in Bristol.”
