Phil and Bonnie Bounder 6k & 10k Forest Run

Sun 8th September 2024

A narrow, sunlit forest path winds through tall, dense trees. Sunlight filters through the foliage, casting dappled light on the ground. Ferns and underbrush line the trail, creating a serene, natural scene.

Organiser's Description

A lovely run through Moreton Forest.

The event is in memory of Bonnie Christopher and Phil Carpenter who were taken from us much too early by cancer.

It raises money for ‘Bonnie’s Last Wish for Suffering Donkeys’, a donkey sanctuary in India which was dear to Bonnie's heart and Mosaic, a Dorset charity that offers support for children and young people who have been bereaved of someone special which has been chosen this year by Phil's family.

NOTE: Dogs are not allowed to accompany runners in the forest.

Minimum age for runners is 15.

This was a great event. I loved the 'family & friends' atmosphere and my congratulations go to all the volunteers. Well organised and with lots of water splashes - my donkey had a great time. And afterwards a beautiful medal, in commemoration of the great cause. As St Francis said: "we better be friends with our brother donkey", referring to how we should treat and value our own body.
