Fundraising for Asthma + Lung UK
Story
Before the Event
Hello :-)
Thanks alot for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm raising money for the British Lung Foundation (BLF) by running in the Reading Half Marathon on 21st March 2010.
This is not something I've ever done before. The most I've ever ran is a 5k fun run when I was 10 years old! So it's certainly going to be quite a challenge for me but one I'm really looking forward to.
I chose to raise money for the British Lung Foundation in particular because:-
A. One in seven people in the UK are affected by lung problems. That will include quite a few reading this now.
B. The charity supports ALL lung conditions, from asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to asbestosis.
C. I have personally suffered with asthma and a lung infection in the past and been treated in hospital alongside patients with various forms of lung diseases. This really opened my eyes up to the extent of the diseases - there's currently 43 known lung conditions in total.
So please do try and donate something to this worthy cause. £50 can help fund a nurse to care for someone with a lung disease in the comfort of their own home!
Even the smallest of donations can make a huge difference. Just give whatever you can, no matter how small. It all adds up.
Being new to fundraising, my initial target was £250. However, due to everyone's generosity, support and encouragement, I've doubled-up the target to £500. Thank you everyone.
Also, if you're free on Sunday 21st March, do come along to the Reading Half Maraton. I'm sure you're support will keep me going to the finish line. Yippeeee!! :)
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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
Thank You very much.
