Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I completed the Balmoral 10k in 56 minutes and 53 seconds which is a new course PB for me in spite of having a bit of hamstring pain and some interesting weather. I am very pleased with my time and even more pleased with the generous donations people have made.

This year I was running to raise funds for North East Sensory Services (NESS) - a charity which I became involved with a few months ago. As the first joint sensory service in Scotland, NESS exists to help people overcome the potentially devastating effects of serious sight or hearing loss, whether they have been born deaf or blind or have developed serious vision or hearing problems. Sensory impairment frequently leads to isolation and NESS provides access to special equipment, employment support, access to social activities and has enabled young people with sensory loss to undertake new activities in a safe environment. Many of their activities have to be funded through fund raising and I would like to encourage as many people as possible to support this worthwhile 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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
