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.
l have lived in Brighton on and off for about 7 years, but I originally come from North Yorkshire. I signed up for the Brighton marathon nearly a year ago and decided I wanted to raise money for a local charity. There are so many worthy causes out there but I wanted to do something for my own community. I came across the work that emmaus do and decided I really wanted to run for them. People sometimes loose their way in life, sometimes things are tough and unless they have a strong support network it's easy to see how life may feel like it's beaten you and people loose hope. I wanted, in my own way, to try and raise the profile of emmaus who I saw taking a much more holistic approach to helping people.
Having been to see the people at the Portslade community, I think the work they do is fantastic and I hope to raise as much as I can!
So please dig deep and donate now.
