Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are raising money for CURE who work in both the UK and developing countries to help children with club feet.  It was a CURE hospital in Kenya - Kijabe - that saved Toby's feet, after the initial poor treatment he received as a baby. They do fantastic work and seeing Toby now able to run his first cross country at school has inspired us to run to raise money for them and to give a chance to other children like Toby.

The half maathon we are doing is one of the hardest - it takes place on the foothills of Mount Kenya  the whole course is above 5500 ft.  It is in the bush so we have the added incentive of being chase by buffalo, elephants or hippos. 

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 CURE and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
