Story

I'm running my 11th marathon, this time to raise funds for The Candlelighters Trust, a wonderful charity that supports families facing children's cancer.

Olivia, 8 years old, passed away peacefully on 7th January. Though I didn't know Olivia, and don't know her family personally, I can't begin to imagine what they must be going through right now.

My daughters Daisy and Rosie were a year below and above Olivia at East Ayton Primary and share in our sadness at Olivia's passing.

So, if you're able to donate to this wonderful charity, I'd be incredibly grateful.

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.
