Story

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

After spending time at Martin House as a student and meeting the most inspiration children and families I could have ever met I decided it was time to challenge myself. To do this I decided to sign up and do a run for Martin house.

But did I sign up for just one run, dont be daft I signed up for three runs.

Jane Tomlinson's Run for all Leeds 10K 19th June 2011

Jane Tomlinson's Run for all York 10K 31st July 2011

Great North Run 18th September 2011

Please, please dig deep into those purses and wallets and sponser me to help the most worthiest cause.

Martin House Hospice care for Children and Young People with progressive life limiting illnesses, and provide support to their families. We are based in our purpose built hospice in Boston Spa, Whetherby and care for children and young people from throughout the Yorkshire region.

Martin House relies almost entirely on donations and fundraising to raise over £4 million a year to provide vital care and support for so many local children and their families. It is only through the kind support of so many that we are able to provide these services.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

 

So today I completed my first ever 10K run in Leeds, it was an amazing day that was totally inspirational. I did ok 01:26:47 but I know that I can do better than this. So wish me luck for the next 6 weeks of training and the York 10K run.
