Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday 20th September I will be running 13.1 miles from Newcastle city centre to South Shields seafront in the world's biggest half marathon. On my last outing in 2007 I ran a time of 1 hr 32 mins. I hope to go abit quicker this year!

I am running on behalf of a great charity: Depaul Uk has made a name for itself by working with the most disadvantaged young people in the UK.  They specialise in working in communities where poverty and long-term unemployment have resulted in generations of social exclusion and high rates of homelessness.

I did some work experience with the charity and so saw first hand the commitment and organisation that goes into the schemes and projects that aim to help youngsters gain self-respect and reaffirm their link to the local community that they live.

Through donotions you will be helping Depaul Uk to continue to work with individual young people who have fallen through the safety net and lack the most basic needs, such as somewhere to live and something to eat.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  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.  It’s the most efficient way to donate.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Cheers

Andy.
