Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm running the Birmingham half marathon in memory of my late Granny to raise money for the repairs and upkeep of St Mary's Church, Shinfield, which just celebrated it's 950th year anniversary (hence the need for repairs). The church was a massive part of her life and continues to be a focal point for the local community. It'd be a great shame to see such an important building to her and the community fall into ruin, so any money you can spare would be much appreciated! I've been reliably informed that dry rot is not cheap. If that doesn't cut it for you, donate to make sure I do the run and you get the pleasure of knowing that you contributed to my suffering over 21km.

About the charity

The building of St Mary's has stood since 1069, 3 years after the battle of Hastings. We are the latest in generations to use the Church in whatever capacity meets our needs. The Church receives no funding from local or national Government for maintenance, so we are 100% reliant on public donations.
