Jane Tomlinson 10k Run
25th June 2009
We’ve recently started working with students and staff from Corpus Christi High School in Halton Moor. As one of their first tasks, they attended the third annual Jane Tomlinson 10k run in Leeds. The run continues to raise money for many different cancer charities and acts as a lasting memorial to Jane who died in 2007, but who’s legacy continues to inspire.

What great interviews. I listened from beginning to end enthralled by the dedication and hard work of all the runners. Your questions helped to show just how important the race is. Well done everyone.

Big Congratulations to you all! How fantastic! Listening to the 'quality interviews' is inspirational and truly reflective. You bring to the people the powerful message of how the 'Jane Tomlinson 10K Run' is a run for all to help others. You personalise the questions to the interviewees and it is obvious they feel at ease talking to you - what a fantastic skill, which can only come from thorough preparation. You may have already done this, but I hope the link goes on the Corpus website - so more folks can listen and celebrate your achievements. Can't wait for the next instalment!

Absolutely fantastic! Well done guys, there was evidently lots of preparation done before the day and I loved your fearlessness of going up to celebrities and asking them for an interview! Budding journalists right there! Looking forward to the next podcast and good luck for the future!!

Excellent work, guys! You came across really well and obviously had put a great deal of preparation into the questions. You were clear and concise- two skills essential for quick interviews. Maybe Mr Teggart is right- some future journalists in the making! Well done to all involved!!

What an interesting interview! Mike Tomlinson was right - "Good questions." I think you captured the essence of the event beautifully. There was sentiment, the purpose of the event, a touch of humour and that lovely mix of celebrity and ordinary people at their best - having fun, challenging their own capacity and helping others. Very well done, guys.

Fantastic - some superb questions, lots of natural talent shining through!! It was a great day and it was amazing to see so many people running for such a good cause. I certainly think these interviews get across that message and I hope this is the start of some budding journalistic careers! Miss Coward won't be too happy she didn't make the final edit though!!
