Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Well, after 3 attempts I've finally got a place in The London Marathon! Lucky its only 2.6 miles eh!
I'm running for Cherry Trees Respite Care Home and have set myself a massive target of £5,000.00 to go towards the daily costs of maintaining provision for the home-from -home respite care for our fantastic but challenging youngsters and their families
As some of you know, Cherry Trees has cared for my lad Nick for over 13 years and although he has moved on now, we will never forget how they were there for us in the most desparate of times.
Simply put, respite breaks are the only thing that keeps you going at times. Bruises heal, meals are uninterrupted, lawns are mowed, BBQ's enjoyed and life looks better.
The current economic climate had meant government cut backs have squeezed CT's income streams and yet the familes are still out there who need Cherry Trees more than ever, and our Head of Care - Peter Davey - simply never says " we can't help".
This will be the biggest commitmnet I've ever made, running- wise and I need you with me. Please support with ridiculously large amounts and I'll do the training.
Huge thanks you all - see you at the finish.
