Hello and welcome to my little fundraising page, I'm sure you don't wish to read an awful lot; so I'll just give you the abridged story.

 

Way back when, 4 people decided that running the marathon had to be done (And rightfully so, it's just one of those things you have to do at least once). Unfortunately, I was the only one to receive a balloted place. The others, equally burdened with an Oxford term schedule, haven't the time to aggressively fundraise for charity places, and so I will run alone (figuratively speaking).

 

Given my place, I then set out to find a charity to raise money for - Something that maybe didn't get as much attention, but was worth your money every bit as much as the others. After reading up on who Anthony Nolan were, and what they did, I decided to run on their behalf (nothing to do with the name matching my own).

 

I'd regurgitate what they say on their website, but it's easier all round if I link you to them and you can see for yourself what great work they do: http://www.anthonynolan.org/ 

 

"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 donate a few quid, or whatever you feel is worth giving - even a little will help.
