Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I completed the Virgin London Marathon on 25 April 2010 in 4 hours 22 minutes and 49 seconds.
I am very pleased to be raising money for Daisy's Dream, a local charity based in Twyford. Daisy's Dream do a tremendous job in supporting children and their families both facing and following bereavement in and around Berkshire. Each year they support over 500 children to cope with the death of a parent, brother, sister or other close relative. They aim to provide support that will allow a child to move forward in a positive way.
Did you know that, in the UK, every 30 minutes a child experiences the death of a parent?
Your donation could help bereaved children in these ways....
* £1,000 pays for a full day event offering support - there are a minimum of 2 a year
* £600 pays for a summer fun day
* £2,500 enables Daisy`s Dream to offer telephone support for a year
* £1,000 pays for specific support days such as teenage support days and parents support
* £50 pays for an initial visit to a family to offer support and advice
* £12 pays for a memory box for each child
* £1,200 pays for the cost of supporting a child for a year
Your help and support is very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Gary
