My story

Hello all,

After years of talking about it, I’ve actually decided to take part in the London Marathon!

I’ve chosen Dyslexia Action as the charity I will be running for. It’s a charity that promotes many fantastic initiatives and addresses a disability that is very often underestimated in terms of its seriousness.

6 million people in the UK are affected by dyslexia, that's 10% of the population. Dyslexia can affect all areas of your life, not just reading and writing. It can cause low self esteem, anxiety, frustration and even depression if unidentified. Through our 26 centres, 158 outposts and our work in schools we work to improve lives through education.

Your money could make a real difference to the lives of those affected by dyslexia.

Please visit the website if you are interested - http://www.dyslexiaaction.org.uk/

Now I know that you all probably receive far too many e-mails requesting sponsorship but your money will be going towards a great cause and included in the price is the option of coming to support me on the big day!

Donating through Just Giving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Just Giving – 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 it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Alex
