Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

On August 27th 2011, I will be attempting a 9 mile walk, from the Halfway House in Broxburn to the Corrie Bar in Armadale, in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.

This may not seem like a major challenge to most of you, however 9 miles is definitely the furthest I'll have walked in one go, in all of my 30 years!  Thankfully there will be a pint waiting at the end of the walk!

Seriously though, when I found out the walk was to help Marie Curie, there was no way I could say no.  They helped to make my mum's final days as peaceful as possible, and have given me support over the last 18 months.  Unfortunately they have to depend very heavily on donations, which is why this walk is so important.  Anything you can spare, however small, would be ever so much appreciated.

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.

Thank you so much for your support,

Lots of love,

Eleanor x
