Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 28th April 2019 I will be attempting to complete the gruelling London Marathon on behalf of Rainbows hospice. From a personal perspective the charity has provided fantastic, tailored support throughout my cousin's life which undoubtedly extended his time with us. Furthermore, the support given to family members has always been superb. Hence why I have always tried to give something back to the charity, whether it be completing 5k runs or organising the collection of gifts for children at Christmas!


The same level of service is provided for every single young person and their family who benefit from Rainbow' support;  I strongly believe that the support offered benefits people immensely.


Rather selfishly the completion of a marathon has always been a personal goal; I have completed much shorter distances before but a marathon will certainly be a shock to the system! I will be training throughout the next year (as soon as I'm back from Kavos), as well as organising a variety of fundraising events to reach the £2500 minimum I have to raise to justify my place in the marathon. I will regularly update this page to let everyone know how the whole process is coming along.


Now comes the part where I ask you all for money! Any donations would be greatly appreciated; I understand we all have budget constraints but if you can have one less pint/glass of wine and donate instead Rainbows would benefit massively. Thank you for taking your time to read my page; if you have any questions don't hesitate to message me!
