Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Ive decided to run two marathons in a  year to raise money for the Childrens Society and raise awareness of the issues surrounding child sexual exploitation  - the first run was the Preston Guild Marathon which took place on October 28th  which I completed in 3hrs 30 mins . I'm now training for the London Marathon which takes place on April 21st. I’m running both marathons for the Children's Society who I have now worked with in partnership with Lancashire Police for a number of years - they do some fantastic work with children who go missing or are sexually exploited- you will know I am hugely passionate in ensuring that in Lancashire we provide the best service to prevent vulnerable children being exploited. The abuse and exploitation of children is unfortunately to frequent occurence , and it can absolutely destroy the lives of children and families. The superb work of the Childrens Society along with other charitable & statutory  partners in Lancashire  means that we can ensure the best level of protection for children and also provide a service that helps those children who have been abused. Your donation will really make a difference to the lives of children in Lancashire & help me stagger round 26 miles (twice) . If you would like to donate you can do so through the website tp://www.justgiving.com/Ian-Critchley or by sending any amount of money/ cheque you feel able to contribute through to Lancashire Public Protection Unit at Police Headquarters. Many thanks . Ian
