Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have worked long and hard these past few months trying to squeeze in long runs at the w/ends in preparation for the New York marathon. This will be my first marathon after a long absense from running. Fingers crossed it will go well on the day! I have no high expectations, I just want to get round the course and enjoy the run.

So I thought since I have put in a bit of effort getting myself in shape and marathon ready maybe I could see if I could raise a few pennies for a very worthy cause. I choose Concern because their aim is to improve the lives of the worlds poorest and most vunerable people. There are so many people in the world that dont even get a chance to live. We take so much for granted here, it is good to spare a thought (and some cash!) for those much less fortunate than us.

Please give some desperate people a chance to live
