Hello,

Thank you very much for visiting my Just Giving page. I am going to be running the London Marathon for Barnardo's in 2025. I feel lucky to be able to run and raise money to support and promote such an amazing charity.

As most people will know Barnardo's are a very special charity, whose purpose is to support children, young people and families, with the amazing quote " we know that when you change a childhood, you change a life."

They help to support children who struggle to find a place through the main care system to find families to foster and adopt.

I could not think of a better charity to raise money for. If anyone who is reads this is able to donate any amount at all I would be very grateful.

On the to the running side, my aim is to run it in 3 hours 10mins....I am looking forward to seeing what my time is compared to 28yr old me 17 years ago in 2008!

Thanks, Derek
