Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started getting involved with Sense at the beginning of 2013, this involved going on Holiday Plus with 6 brilliant people. I couldn't have had a better time with them and I brought away a lot of fond memories and I'm sure they did too! 

In August 2013 I went on holiday with a group of teenagers and although it was a completely different type of holiday it was also very rewarding and enjoyable. Everyone had a wonderful time and it allowed their parents to have a break as well. 

After that I decided that I would like to do more for Sense so I looked into options of fundraising for them as I feel they are a great charity to be involved with and I know through experience with the holidays that money raised goes to a good cause. Not only involving holidays but day to day things such as offering early assessments to deafblind children and support to their parents and family.

As little as £5 could buy a set of musical bells that help stimulate even the tiniest amount of a deafblind child's hearing in music therapy.

If you want any more information you just have to ask! I will answer what I can and what I can't I can easily find out through my contacts at Sense. So far this year I've managed to volunteer for 336 hours. I'm alwaays on the lookout to see if I can do more though!

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

It is a challenge for me as I haven't done much running before, I enjoy it but I've never run this far. So whatever money you can donate I really appreciate it and I know that the money will be well spent.
