6 marathons now done, half way towards the end of my challenge! With over 500 miles run this year it has certainly been quite a journey! Thank you to everyone that has supported me so far, there's still time to donate if you haven't already!!

4 marathons done, so I am a third of the way there. London was absolutely amazing! Thank you all so much for your continued support. The net few are spread out quite evenly so 5-7 will go passed in a flash!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

It is an unfortunate fact that many children are born each year with life threatening conditions which will ultimately mean that the chances of them living full lives are effectively reduced to near zero.

 

During 2012 I am running 12 marathons in the UK, totalling 314.4 miles, in order to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which is a charity that grants wishes for children in the UK who suffer from life threatening illnesses.

 

The wishes granted by Make-A-Wish mean that for many families, the last memory of their child will be one of joy and laughter, rather than unjust illness and unfortunately hospitalisation.

 

I am lucky that I am in a position to be able to do something to raise funds so that Make-A-Wish can continue to do their work and I hope that you will be able to make a donation to this very worthy cause

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

So please dig deep and donate now.
