Story

Hi, my name's Diane and I'd like to welcome you to my sponsorship page.

Well I did it and managed to finish!!!  I got round in 2 hours and 21 minutes and 8 seconds.  I am so pleased with my time and yes I will be there next year!!  It was an absolutely fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone to do.  The people are lovely and so supportive, lots of cheering me on and high fives!  Matty and Katie were a little disappointed as I think they expected me to win so decided to count how many scooby doo's were finishing instead.  Thank you so much to everyone for your fantastic support and I couldn't of done it without you all.

My chosen charity is the NCH children’s charity, as my mum, her sister and brother were abandoned at a very young age. My mum was brought up in different children’s homes and in foster care. By sponsoring me you are helping to support the 178,000 vulnerable children just like my mum.

My mum is a wonderful loving mum and grandmother to her two grandchildren and this event means so much to me, my mum and the people at the NCH children’s charity who will benefit from your donations. No matter how big or small your donation is, it will be gratefully received.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NCH, the children's charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Lots of love Di xx
