Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I met a lovely lady on holiday last year, it turns out she lives local to me. Over lunch this year she told me about the amazing work her charity does. She was looking for runners to gain sponsorship for the Reading half marathon. I couldn't say no.

First Days is a local children's charity who helps families living in
poverty. The aim is to become a leading voice in ending child poverty.
They work with child care professionals to reach the people who need the help the most. First Days collects clothing, equipment, toys and
equipment from local supports and redistributes it to local families
living in poverty. 

I will complete this massive task. I've done it before and I'll do it again, ten years later it will be much tougher! Its for a good cause.
