Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity believes no child should face hospital alone. Every day, 500 seriously ill children face a life-changing hospital visit. Children tell us it can be frightening. Parents say they're sick with worry. We want to change this. With your support, we can. Are you in?

Story

<p>Hello and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Last year I spent 24 hours playing videogames in order to earn money for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation. I thought that this year I would do something a little bit more lively to keep helping this fantastic charity.</p> <p>So I entered the Edinburgh 10k. Training was going fine until I pushed it a little bit too far and really hurt my knee. Oh no! So now I'm building my training back up, and the distance is going to be a genuine challenge come October 2nd.</p> <p>It's basically the plot to Rocky, ok? Except with you donating money for the feel-good ending.</p> <p>You can keep an eye on my training on <a href="http://runkeeper.com/user/FreakyZoid/activity/48394848">my RunKeeper page</a>, to see if I am ridin' up, back on the street.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Now for the standard bit:</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
