Quite frankly, I’m an idiot.

Somewhere in the middle of summer last year I decided that I would embark upon a set of challenges in the lead up to my 30^th birthday.

I’ve done the 10k, I’ve done the 3 peaks and now comes my hardest (and most feared) challenge to date……..

The marathon.

Here’s where I stand at the moment:

(actually I’m not standing at the moment, I’m making the most of sitting while I can)

July 09 - British 10k run - £170 raised!

September 09 - 3 Peaks Challenge - £1300 raised!

April 2010 - London Marathon www.justgiving.com/loisdoesthemarathon

July 2010 – Nicaragua clean water project

October 2010 – Turning 30. Maybe the biggest challenge of them all??!

(clearly my 30^th birthday is not going to be a sponsored event, just a milestone that will need to be sufficiently marked!).

So I find myself putting together another justgiving page in the hope of raising some well needed pennies for Kith & Kids.

Kith and Kids is a charity we sponsor through my work place and an amazing charity all round. Everything raised will go towards funding projects that support young people with disabilities.  Many of their service users have learning, physical and/or sensory disabilities. Kith and Kids supports its members who have a disability by providing effective projects and services tailored to individual needs. Their overall aim is to empower families living with disability to overcome their isolation and access support and fun-based activities.  www.kithandkids.org.uk

£5 will help buy sports or art equipment for weekend clubs and projects
£15 can pay for one person with a learning disability or autism to take part in a therapeutic workshop such as massage, craft, drama or music.  
£25 could allow one person to enjoy a day out of their choice with two trained volunteers. 
£50 will help pay for parents to attend two support group sessions.
£100 will cover a person’s costs for the whole week at one of our Social Development Projects.

This is my last justgiving type fundraiser attack so anything you can donate will help towards the total and I appreciate anything and everything!

Thanks in advance!
