Year 2021
We are delighted about our active participation in completing 10K run for the 11th consecutive year on river Thames in Central London. This was the first run after covid-19 pandemic in Central London.
On 25th July 2021, nearly 20 people put on their running shoes to participate in the British 10K in London to help raise money for the Help Smile Trust. In addition to supporting this event these people helped in fundraising by spreading the noble cause amongst their friends and family through social media. We enjoyed this event with team spirit blended with the desire to help the good cause.
