London charity with 30 live bands and stuff! THIS SUNDAY!

01/10/2008

Remember that bit on Forrest Gump where he goes running for over a year and grows that massive beard and has worn out trainers and stuff? And then he has that moment of revelation when he suddenly stops and says: “What the hell am I DOING? What in God’s name am I running FOR?”

Well, that might have had something to do with the fact that he didn’t have any music to listen to, that he wasn’t running for charity and that it was therefore a pretty crappy running experience.

Then again, he might have just got really, really bored…

Enter Sony Ericsson Run To The Beat, which will welcome 30 bands to various points across London, doing their general bandy things (music and that) whilst people run a half marathon for chosen charities.

Basically, it’s everything that Gump’s run wasn’t and... it takes place THIS SUNDAY (October 5th)!

Speaking of the event, Managing Director of Sony Ericsson, John Harber, commented: “UK Sony Ericsson is really excited to be involved with such an innovative sporting event, which celebrates stamina, determination, personal achievement and above all the unique ability of music to motivate and enhance the listener, physically and emotionally. This is something that resonates at the heart of our Walkman phone heritage”.
