London done! - 4h 26m
Berlin done! - 4h 9m
New York done! - 4h 16m
Having completed my first marathon in 2009, I have set myself the challenge of running 3 marathons in 2010 London - Berlin - New York. As if this were not challenge enough, I have set myself the goal of raising £10,000 to support children's charities that are close to my heart. The money will be split equally between the following, or people can specifically request that their sponsorship goes to one particular charity.
JDRF - http://www.jdrf.org.uk/
The Children Trust - http://www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/
JDRF
Completely out of the blue, in 2008, at the age of 13, my niece Sarah was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Nobody knows why. We are family with no history of diabetes. Subsequently we have discovered that this is not as uncommon as it might appear The increase of Juvenile diabetes is on the increase and JDRF are dedicated to finding a cure. To find out more about the work of JDRF please visit their website.
The Children Trust
Supported me in my first marathon and have also provided me with a place on this years London Marathon. They do really excellent work helping children who are severely disabled. You can find more about the work by following the link.
The St James's Place Foundation
Many of you will be familiar with the work of the SJP Foundation. It raises money primarily to support Children's charities. By collecting sponsorship and donations through the Foundation, St James's Place have agreed to match all monies raised £1 for £1. St James's Place Foundation will collect all monies and make sure it is divided equally between the two charities.
