Fundraising for WellChild
Story
Welcome to my fundraising page. On April 13, 2008 I will take part in the Flora London Marathon in support of the genuine and hardworking charity WellChild. Please sponsor me online and help WellChild continue to provide care and support to sick kids and their families, and research into childhood illness.
Running has been in my bones since an early age. I used to chase the boys on the playground in nursery school, and in middle school stepped up my game to out-sprint some of the boys in my class. My soccer days helped fine tune my stamina, and I have continued running through high school, college and beyond and have taken part in a few 10Ks. I'm not a natural born competitor; for me running is about relaxing, reflecting and unwinding though I've often thought about putting my love for a run toward a good cause.
On a recent trip to Australia I had a chance to take stock of this consideration, and while playing Charlie's Angels on Whitehaven Beach (see picture) I decided to finally commit to the challenge of the London Marathon in support of WellChild.
I'm now running my butt off in the dark, cold UK winter in accordance with my rigorous training schedule, and loving every minute of it....well, almost every minute of it.
I am prepared to do WellChild justice, but inspiration will only carry me so far. I need all the support I can get to reach my fundraising target and would really appreciate any donation you can give.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: WellChild will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Please sponsor me now and help support WellChild.
Thank you!
