Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I hope you can find it in your threadbare pre-Christmas wallets to sponsor me for the Santa 10k (not the 5k version!) run in Greenwich Park on Sunday 4th December.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Yes, I will be dressing up in a delightful hat and suit. No, I don't need the false belly.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm running for a charity my mum helps out with - the <span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;">St Vincent de Paul Society. It aims to help the diasdvantaged by providing practical assistance, such as helping the eldery with their shopping, cleaning and cooking; taking children on holiday camps; and operating soup runs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;"><br></span></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>
