Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have now completed 10x10k road and trail races within 10 weeks in the hope of raising money for St. Mary's Hospital Neonatal Unit in Manchester.

Our boys, James and David were 16 years old in June and were born weighing just over 3lbs each with considerable problems. They simply would not be alive today without the expert care and knowledge given by this unit.

Check out the pictures to see how they have developed into tall, strong, healthy young men. (Handsome is obviously down to me!)

It seems a suitable anniversary to show my appreciation for these wonderful people who saved their lives on many occasions.

I know lots of people are asking for your hard earned money but please give a donation if you can.

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.
