My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi everyone,

On the 1st of November i am running the New York marathon.Four months ago a close family friend gave birth to beautiful baby girl called Maisie,Maisie has downs syndrome.Its hard to fully understand Downs syndrome until you see it on a personal level.This is why I'm running for the Downs syndrome association.Its a wonderful charity that's helps with all aspects of Downs syndrome.and all donations however small would be greatefully recieved by the downs syndrome association.and appreciated by me and Maisie's parents Mark and Kirsty.

Many Thanks

Ben Fitzgerald

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.
