Story

This is my first, and probably last Marathon, and I have decided to run in aid of the Toy Appeal which is a wonderful charity that raises money to buy gifts for thousands of children who would otherwise receive nothing or very little at Christmas. Last Christmas., I helped for a day with a large team of volunteers and it really opened my eyes to what Christmas really means for some children. Each boy or girl, from age 0 to 18 , receives an age specific sack of good quality  toys / gifts. I really appreciate any donations you gift. Thanks.
