My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 15th April I will be running the Paris Marathon.  6 months ago this seemed like a good idea but as time gets closer I'm wondering about my sanity.  To keep me focused I am raising money for ThePromise, a great charity that works to improve the lives of disabled children in Russia.

I know there are many demands on your money at this time but if you could support me and ThePromise with a donation however small I would be really grateful.

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.

Thanks. 

Alison

Well, I completed the marathon in a little over 5 hours. Very slow but not unexpected given the circumstances. Thanks to everyone who supported me aand ThePromise in this venture.
