Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year I ran the Edinburgh Marathon Festival (EMF) 10K course in 52 minutes, 48 seconds and raised £584.35 for Big Hearts and Save the Children. With your help in 2018 my aim is to better these two targets.

All funds raised will go towards Big Hearts Emergency Essentials Fund which provides support to Kinship Care families through crisis grants to replace essential household items. Last year Big Hearts helped 40 families and thanks to your donation we could help even more kids and carers this year.

Kinship Care is the raising of children by grandparents, extended family members or adults with whom they have a close family-like relationship (such as godparents and close family friends) because biological parents are unable to do so for whatever reason.  More information about the Kinship Care can be found here:

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Any amount you can sponsor would make a positive difference to those families in need.

All the best,

Russell
