Story
In April 2019 I completed the Virgin Money London Marathon (26.2miles). I was lucky to get a ballot place on my first time of applying and so decided to raise money for 2 charities close to my heart to give something back to them.
During my training for London I entered the ballot for the Simplyhealth Great North Run (GNR) which is 13.1miles... and again I was so lucky and I got a place first time. So again I decided to try and raise money for another charity close to my families heart.... FIRST STEP.
First Step have supported my sisters family for many years. My Nephew who is now 5 years old used to attend First Step and the many events they used to put on. First Step, as it currently stands, is at risk of closing and plans are being put in place to ensure that doesn't happen but of course they need the money in the bank to make it possible.
So please donate and help keep this valuable local special needs resource open for those that will benefit. It's one of kind, the only one in our Borough!
Thank you x
