Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Yes I am crazy enough to run the London Marathon for my 3rd time, however I have a new recruit my sister-in-law Sam Duffin, who has crazily agreed to participate!!!  Please wish us well on our challenging, gruelling journey over the next few months.  It'll be great to see you supporting us on the day, whether you make it there to watch us in our triumph or not!! :0)

The chariety we have chosen is The Variety Club, childrens charity. Throughout our lives, we grow through the experiences that we have. Especially when we're young, we need to explore and discover a wide range of people, places and activities in order to flourish. We yearn for a little taste of freedom and independence.

Right now, two million young people in the UK are living below the poverty line. Their parents and carers can't afford to give them the opportunities they need to play, learn and reach their full potential.

Every day in the UK, 70 children are born or diagnosed with a disability; this affects one in twenty children and their families. Because it costs three times as much to raise a disabled child, many of them will find it harder to make ends meet, let alone fund the kind of specialist help their child needs to live an independent life.

So please dig deep and donate now, every £1 counts :0)

Thanks and Much love
