Raising money for

Quarriers

Charity Registration No. SC001960

Your support will help children, teenagers, families and other people transform their lives. Every day of the year, Quarriers gives independence to people with a disability and breathing space to families under pressure. We give hope to young people requiring educational support, and housing assistance to the young people who need it most. We give much-needed respite breaks to carers and vital back up to people with epilepsy. Beyond all the people that Quarriers supports are the families they come from, and the communities they live in, who are better off because you've helped us give them some comfort, safety and a ray of hope. The fact you're reading this today means you're about to support somebody who's raising money for Quarriers. And you could also get involved by participating in an overseas trek, a parachute jump or even a running or walking event. Or you could simply give a donation. You'll find all the details on our website. Charity registration number SC001960.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am teaming up with two suberbly toned athletes, Bob and Midge (Ros's sister) Oliver in a family tri-athlon in Bermuda (see picture of an earlier competition!). I start with a 1K swim followed by Bob cycling 20K and Midge running 5K. Intensive early morning swimming training commenced back in August at the RGU pool and fine tuning will take place in Bermuda at the aptly named "Shark Hole".

What's it all in aid of? Quarriers who organise the epilepsy fieldworkers in the North East. The fieldworkers provide a holistic approach to helping those in the area with epilepsy. They provide the support infrastructure to help sufferers, family members and others adjust their lifestyle once the condition has been diagnosed. This is an earlier start to the fundraising for Quarriers which takes place at the annual WAGS dinner in May at Ardoe House.

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. I am aiming to raise £1000 through JustGiving and if successful will match this with a personal donation of the same amount. Hopefully ending up with a net amount for the charity of just over £2500!

So please dig deep and donate now. Don't forget to keep an eye on this page for updates!
