BRMB Walkathon

Fancy getting your paws on some trainers signed by the Prince of Darkness or 69 favourite Beverley Knight? And hands up who’d like to raise some money for a very worthy charity at the same time? All of you? Excellent; then read on.

The likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Beverley Knight, Ellie Goulding, Robyn, Train, Gabriella Cilmi and Scouting For Girls are the latest celebrities to sign up for Birmingham based radio station BRMB’s Celebrity Trainer auction to raise money for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity.

The charity supports injured soldiers returning from Afghanistan and hopes to develop a new military rehabilitation facility. This facility will assist military patients to cope with their injuries whilst creating a ‘home from home’ where they can relax with their families and fellow soldiers.

A very special online public auction will open for bidding on Monday 24^th May and will feature a signed collection of trainers by all of the above celebs   as well as international tennis star Maria Sharapova and chart topper Tinchy Stryder. Ex-Busted bassist Matt Willis and his ‘Live From Studio Five’ presenter wife Emma Willis have also lent their signatures to the cause.

The highest bidder on the Ellie Goulding trainer will receive the trainer custom made in their size. All other celebrity trainers will be in a standard size.

The auction is part of BRMB’s campaign to ‘build a home for the brave in Birmingham’ which includes a twenty-six mile Walkathon taking place on Sunday 6^th June. It is hoped that 10,000 people will take part in the BRMB Lookers Vauxhall Walkathon which is also being sponsored by the Midlands chocolate institution, Cadbury World.
