Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you might know, I’m fast approaching 50 (faster than I can run!) and I wanted to achieve something to feel good about before reaching my sell by date. I started running for fun about 2 years ago and have not looked back, it’s difficult enough looking where I’m going! When I took up running my friend and inspiration suggested we would run the New York marathon in 2010. 2 years on, my friends and I (pictured above), have booked our place to run 26.2 miles before collapsing and being carried back to the UK.

I’ve chosen Get Kids Going! a National charity providing specially built wheelchairs and grants to enable disabled children to participate in a range of sports such as triathlons, sailing and basketball to name just a few.

Many people who support Get Kids Going! feel a real sense of satisfaction, knowing that even the smallest donation can make an amazing difference to a disabled child’s life. This gives disabled children a chance of a lifetime and some wonderful opportunities, you and I take for granted.  For more information about Get Kids Going! visit their website.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
