Story


Marathon completed. What a brilliant experience in aid of this fabulous charity. 

I have been hobbling about ever since but I am determined to make my fundraising target. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I thought I would never run a marathon: "26 miles? That's a bus journey!" I would reply. As my mileage clocked up and a few half marathons later I got carried away by seeing the journey of running buddies. Anyway it is going to be in October again 3 days before my birthday so I saw this as a sign... 

Why Mencap? I have been working in special Ed for 18 years now and Mencap fund a challenge that my class take part in: the All Move Challenge. This encourages the kids to get active by setting challenges and rewards so promoting a healthy active lifestyle for people with learning differences.

. So my challenge and fundraising will directly benefit the young people I know. 

Mencap are there to support families too. 

The fundraising target is a challenge: If you would like to help here are some ways:

I will be donating commission from Norwex eco products parties and if you host a party for me I will do all the work, it is fun and you could help me earn £100. 

Order some Norwex products from me ref Mencap and I will donate the commission up to 28%

Perhaps I can car wash, house sit etc for you? 

As you are here at my just giving page please donate  whatever you can and come back to see updates on my training and fundraising. 

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.
