Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running to raise money to fund the rehab for young children with spinal cord injuries at the amazing young charity Neurokinex Kids. I know the children and their parents - these amazing brave souls who are turning to Neurokinex with hope in their hearts.

Neurokinex ran a Crowdfund Campaign to raise the essential fundraising to make NK Kids a reality. 

  • They raised £60,000 – enough to get the gym built and furnished
  • Now they need bespoke equipment to help each child fulfill their potential

I'm running the London Marathon to raise money for a specialist, rehabilitation Theraplay Tricycle which costs £950. (Any funds I raise above that will go into the bursary – to help families access these incredible facilities for their children.)

The Theraplay Tricycle will really boost their work and with your support we can get this to them by the end of April. Imagine!!

I’m a keen runner but Marathon Training is not within my comfort zone. Since Christmas, I've been up and out early, training for hours in the rain, 20mph winds, blizzards and snow. Not easy and sometimes tough and painful. But my discomfort is short-lived and I just need an Epsom salts bath, cup of coffee (or glass of wine), a little expert physio and some rest to get me back on my feet.

It’s not so easy for the children at NK Kids to recover but with your help, we’ll give them a fighting chance.

It will mean the world to me if on Sunday April 22nd I run for just over four hours and complete 26.2 miles knowing there’s a Theraplay Tricycle on order for NK Kids.

Thank you for your support!
