Fundraising for Whizz Kidz
Story
dear friends,
cheers for visiting my fundraising page.
I am privileged to be running in the 26mile 2005 Flora London Marathon 17th April 05, for Whizz-Kidz (Charity No 802872)
'' the movement for non-mobile children '', commenced my preparations and training last October when I received place confirmation.
GOD willing (and without serious injury) I will join part of this elite group and hopefully raise funds for what is an excellent and most worthy cause, only however
with your help and support.
WHY ? I hear you ask. Well simply put April 2005 is my 50th birthday year, (take no notice of the picture this was taken 25 years ago ! joke !) this marathon will be my present not only to moi, nay lad, more what I can do to make a difference for others.
A day to remember for sure. some training facts, since mid Oct 04 to mid Jan 05, 334 miles are logged, formal 12 week training schedule till mid April 05 requires 361 miles, 671 miles logged on 12/4/05, leaving 26.2 miles to run on the day. yippee !! Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Whizz-Kidz will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! every little helps,,,,,,,,, Grateful thanks for your support.
