O Shaun’s 11 is a group of committed and like-minded people, who made a
life changing decision to run the London Marathon. As a Team we’re aiming to
raise at least £25,000 for the NSPCC/Childline, but would ideally like to smash
through £50,000! That’s a big ask, so please dig deep, in the full knowledge
that you’re helping make a difference to young people’s lives in the UK. 

Childline is part of the NSPCC (National
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) which is the UK’s leading
children’s charity, dedicated to ending child abuse and neglect. The charity
has been making a difference to children’s lives for over 130 years. Much of
that is down to its campaigns, services, volunteers and of course its
supporters. So, all the members of our Team want to run the London Marathon in
2023, because we believe that every childhood is worth fighting for. 

The money raised goes towards some
remarkable things –

£4 would pay for a child to speak to
Childline.

£25 would pay for an NSPCC
helpline counsellor to give an hour's support to an adult who's worried about a
child.

£112 would pay for a face-to-face
counselling session for a young person in care, helping them to overcome the
problems they've faced.

£500 would pay for
life-changing therapy to help a child recover from abuse and rebuild their
life.
