February's Sweatshop monthly prize winner for Glasgow is Ross Goodman.

Ross Goodman has been a regular at Glasgow parkrun since the beginning of the year, including our cross-country events when Ross discovered he could run faster in ankle deep ice water compared to ankle deep snow! He's brought his time down, on the normal course, from 38:00 to 33:49, so we're sure Ross is eyeing up a sub-30 minute run before too long! Ross's previous results, including his snowy debut on 9th Jan (in 42:19) are on his athlete results page.

Ross is building up to run the Edinburgh Marathon in May, during which he hopes to raise money in memory of his daughter Emma, who sadly passed away from Motor Neuron Disease in 2008. Emma loved to visit the childrens hospice, Rachel House, so Ross is hoping to raise money for the Childrens Hospice organisation CHAS. More details on Ross's justgiving page: http://www.justgiving.com/26Miles4CHAS, and you can follow his fundraising efforts on his blog: http://www.rossgoodman.com/category/fundraising/ - Ross is also on Twitter @rossgoodman

We're delighted to recognise Ross's efforts, contribution and support, as well as some excellent running achievements. We'd also like to thank Hugh Brasher of Sweatshop for his generosity. Ross's prize is a new pair of running shoes fitted at Glasgow Sweatshop. Sweatshop are one of the key sponsors that help parkrun continue, so we hope runners bear them in mind when they're next buying running gear.

The winner is chosen by the event directors or members of the committee designated by them. The successful candidates are often chosen for their perseverance, number of PBs in one month, total number of runs and improvement overall. However, we can award the prize for other reasons at our discretion. If you know someone who has overcome adversity, personal illness or is deserving in any other way, please let us know by emailing glasgowoffice@parkrun.com and we promise to consider your nomination.
