Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running my first ever marathon in April. I'm just over half way through my training & am learning new things about running & life every week.  I feel so lucky to be in a position to be able to do this (and have told anyone who would listen I'm doing it the year I'm 40 - not sure how that came around so fast). I'm hoping to make a difference to those who need it & show my children that its never too late to fall in love with a sport & achieve things you never thought you'd be able to. I've been following the work of Wood Street Mission who do amazing things to improve the life chances of children who otherwise may not have equal access to everything they need for their wellbeing & education, so I'm running for them.  Any donations are hugely appreciated & will go towards giving local families access to things that a lot of us take for granted.

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.
