Welcome to your new improved fundraising page. Find out what's changed and why.

What's new?

  1. The new header makes it much easier to see all the fundraising info at a glance. Plus, the page can now be shared to more social networks to encourage more people to give.
  2. The charity information is much more prominent, highlighting the cause you’re supporting.
  3. The new gallery makes it easier to see the images and video.
  4. Dedicated sections show the teams and companies you’re part of, emphasising the fundraising community you belong to.

What's coming?

The new design will also allow us to introduce some great features very soon to help you tell your fundraising story, like page updates, themes and a new page summary. Read all about these and other upcoming changes on our blog.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

4KBW members John Brown, Helen Dobby, Nick Doherty, Ricky Gardner and Tom Quinn are all brave/foolhardy enough to have signed up for the Reading half marathon on 1st April 2012. 

We are running for Launchpad Reading, which is a great charity providing supported housing for some of Reading’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged people to help them turn around their lives and fulfil their potential.  In addition to housing the charity provides the support people need to address the issues they are facing. 

We appreciate you may get lots of requests to dig deep but we would be absolutely delighted if you could give whatever you can afford and help us to raise some cash for Launchpad. 

In addition to your monetary support it would be great to see you in Reading on the day.  Your cheers and pom-pom waving will help to speed us on.  Not to put you off but certain members have threatened to wear lycra running tights! 

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So please donate now.
