Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've decided that the time is ripe for me to re-engage my love of running.  It's come to that time in life where I can no longer eat what I want, drink what I want without it startting to have an appreciable effect on my once svelte frame.  So there is only one thing for it....a marathon!

So, what better reason to strap my trainers on?  Well, that's one good reason, but a better one is to raise some money for my favouite local organisation, The Bromley by Bow Centre.

The Bromley by Bow Centre is an innovative community organisation in East London. Working in one of the most deprived wards in the UK, each week they support families, young people and adults of all ages to learn new skills, improve their health and wellbeing, find employment and develop the confidence to achieve their goals and transform their lives. At the core of the Centre’s thinking is our belief in people and their capacity to achieve amazing things. 

The money I raise could pay for...

  • An after-school gardening club for inner city children
  •  
  • The Centre’s minibus which takes isolated old people to and from the Centre
  •  
  • A course for a group of adults, giving them basic skills they need to understand numbers for the very first time.

 

And much, much more.  So please be generous and if you fancy a day out in Brighton in April, come and cheer me on, or laugh at my stupidity.  The choice is yours!

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 it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
