Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.I will be running & raising money for children like Ella Frith and Ben O'Brien.

Ella - the little girl in the white coat in my photo - was diagnosed in February 2007 with an aggressive brain tumour. In September of that year & having had three operations in a matter of days, she was given given 2 months to live. Since then she has endured intensive courses of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in a bid to halt the cancer. Against the odds she is now 9 years old & remains a happy little girl.

Ben, a fanatical football fan & the little boy on the left of my photo, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer after his mum noticed he was passing up playing his beloved football due to pain in his leg. In March last year he underwent surgery to remove his leg. Despite this, he has since boxed on 2 Charity Boxing Shows & is an inspiration to everyone who meets him 

Since December 2007 my gym - Sheffield Boxing Centre - has raised £30600 for the ward at Sheffield Children's Hospital that treats Ben & Ella. It would be brilliant if we could raise enough money from the Rotterdam Marathon to take it over the £31K mark

So please dig deep and donate now.
