Healthcare company Bupa is looking for a new charity with which to partner in the
Bupa Great Run Series for 2012. Since Bupa’s stated purpose is “to help people live
longer, healthier, happier lives”, it is looking for a charity “with a focus on 
keeping people well”, that helps people get more active and to take steps to be 
healthier.

Applications are accepted until 13 May. They want a maximum of one side of A4. There
is a clear brief indicating what sort of charity they are looking to partner with.
A short-list of up to five charities will be selected and invited to attend a formal
pitch presentation in London.

If you have not heard from Bupa by 17 June, then your application will not have 
been successful.

The [Bupa Great Run Series](http://www.greatrun.org) is the largest mass participation
series of running events in the UK, consisting of seven races across the country
with around 150,000 entries every year. The events include the world’s biggest half
marathon, the Bupa Great North Run, the UK’s biggest 10k, the Bupa Great Manchester
Run, and Europe’s biggest 10 mile race, the Bupa Great South Run.

This year marks the third and final year of Bupa’s charity partnership with Alzheimer’s
Society. This has raised an anticipated £4 million from around 9,000 runners each
year, and built up a valuable atabase of runners for future fundraising.
