Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

In 2002, following a very short illness, our daughter Zara passed away.  We were fortunate to be able  to donate Zara's organs, this has brought massive and continued comfort to our family.  This March, Zara would have celebrated her 21st birthday and to acknowledge this, and keeping the theme of "21", we are raising money to purchase 210 "Hugga" blankets.  These blankets are given to potential organ donor families to provide comfort whilst their loved one is is still in Intensive Care prior to organ donation.  

To raise the money, in the month of March 2022

  • I will be running 21km per week.  
  • Maa will be walking 21km per week.  
  • Sophie will be cycling 21km per week.  
  • George will be performing a combination of 21 gym exercises per day.  
  • Sal (Bev) will be swimming at least 2.1km 21 times.  

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.  If you can, please claim gift aid because this adds vital funds to the cause at no extra cost to yourself.
