Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This April, I will be running the London Marathon. I started training last May and at the time could only manage a couple of hundred meters before being out of breath, now I'm up to 28km but with the marathon being 42km still away to go and it's getting really tough. I would be greatful for any donations towards a great charity 

The Charity I have chosen to raise money and awareness for is Contact a Family. There are 770,000 disabled children in the UK and Contact a Family is the only charity that helps all families, no matter what disability or condition their child has.

Contact a family is always there to provide support. Whether it is helping to find like-minded parents to form a local support group, or providing practical advice about access to things like disability benefits, equipment, holidays, play, leisure and education.

Last year Contact a family transformed the lives of 340,000 families by providing information, advise and support when families needed it most.

Many larger, well-established charities receive greater support but smaller charities such as Contact a Family are heavily dependant on individual donors and supporters, such as you and I, to help them help others. One of the many reasons I have chosen to support them.

Wish me luck!
