My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running my first (and probably last!) half marathon on 11 October in the Royal Parks Marathon.  Training has been going well and I hope to get round in under 2 hours.

I am raising money for a charity local to me, First Step.  First Step does great work supporting young children with special needs and their families in the Havering area. 

First Step's website can be found by clicking the following link http://www.firststep.org.uk/index.php?id=2 .

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.

Please give as generously as you are able and thank you in advance for your kind support.  And you are more than welcome to come and cheer me on.  I'm going to need lots of support......
