Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As you probably know by now, I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October for Barnardo's - who I know really do make a positive difference to the lives of so many children and young people.

£5 could help pay for books, pencils and crayons that children can play with at Barnardo's after school care programmes.

£10 could pay for toys and games for play therapy sessions for a child who’s been abused.

£25 could pay for a bubble tube for a multi-sensory room, enabling disabled children to play.

£500 could pay for a Barnardo's outreach worker to make that vital first contact with six young people being, or at risk of being, abused through sexual exploitation.

I'm hoping to raise £500 for Barnardo's and at the same time get fit so that I can keep up with Wanda (pictured, looking equally ridiculous) who I'm doing the Half Marathon with. Any help you can give is gratefully received!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barnardo's 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!

Many thanks for your support,

Alan
