Sponsor Knickers at the Great Edinburgh Run!

As our longtime readers will know, we love a good charity event. We’ve raised money for cancer charities at our Sample Sale and with lingerie label Made by Niki, and this time, we’re going the extra mile. Actually, make that 6.2 miles.

Despite having no athletic tendencies at all, your faithful editor will be running jogging the BUPA Great Edinburgh 10k here in Scotland, raising money for the Marie Curie cancer charity. This charity dedicates itself to caring for cancer patients through their illnesses, as well as researching potential cures. We can’t think of a better way to jump-start a healthy, happy summer than to do it for a good cause.

As an added bonus, we’ll be doing the ultimate product review during the run — we’ll be wearing the Shock Absorber Level 4 bra (US, UK), and will report back post-race on how it handled a 10k for a G-cup. A quick preliminary review: the back sizes for this bra are really small — we normally wear a 34/36 in the back, but had to go up to a 40 in this bra. Keep that in mind if you order!

The Shock Absorber is one of the few sports bras available for larger-cup sizes, so we have high hopes for it!

How to Donate

The run is next Sunday, 6th May, so we’ve set up a donation page for one week to collect donations. If you’d like to support me in the run (and trust me, I’ll need a lot of support!), donate as little or as much as you like using the links below:
