We’re the only charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands. That’s why we help children who’ve been abused to rebuild their lives, we protect children at risk, and we find the best ways of preventing child abuse from ever happening.

Story

A MASSIVE THANKS TO ALL MY SPONSORS - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

It's all over and we nearly hit £2000 (including gift aid) which was the original target!

Paris went smoothly, London was a nightmare (for various reasons) and Edinburgh went very well considering the hot weather. As a final note, see the picture opposite for what 3 marathons does to a pair of running shorts.

THREE MARATHONS IN TWO MONTHS:

  • Paris Marathon - April 5th 2009 : 4hrs 12min
  • London Marathon - April 26th 2009 : 4hrs 17min
  • Edinburgh Marathon - May 31st 2009 : 3hrs 59min

The NSPCC and Childline have a vision of a society where all children are loved, valued and able to fulfil their potential.

Here's how your donation can make a genuine difference:

  • £4 could answer a child's call to Childline
  • £20 could buy dolls used in child therapy
  • £85 could pay for the cost of counselling two children who would otherwise feel like no-one is there to help them
  • £250 could pay for two days of individual therapeutic sessions at one of our domestic violence centres

Please help if you can.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NSPCC gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
