Thames Path Challenge 100km Ultra Marathon
I am running the Thames Path Challenge 100km Ultra Marathon to raise money for Millie's Trust.
Millie's Trust was created by the parents of Millie Thompson who tragically passed away in a choking incident in October 2012. Their aim is the advancement of health and saving of lives by providing first aid education and awareness, first aid training courses, and paediatric courses for nurseries that are readily available and for minimal cost.
Having a young daughter that is approaching nursery age this charity resonates a strong feeling with me and really highlights the gap in the law regarding first aid and the lack of compulsory first aid trained staff in childcare settings.
I am hoping to raise as much as I can for the charity by putting myself through the challenge, the pain and the inevitable chafing that will come with the training. I am sure it will be worth it when race day comes.
Any donation or sponsorship that you can spare would be amazing and very gratefully received. It will be giving me a much needed boost during my longer runs knowing that it is worthwhile with the funds going to an extremely valuable cause.
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.
Thanks for your support,
Gary
