ChildLine is the UK's free and confidential, 24 hour helpline for children in distress or danger. Trained volunteer counsellors comfort, advise, support and protect children and young people who may feel they have nowhere else to turn. Children call ChildLine about a wide range of problems, but the most common problems are abuse (both sexual and physical), bullying, serious family tensions, worries about friends' welfare and teenage pregnancy. Children and young people can call ChildLine about anything – no problem is too big or too small. ChildLine is a service provided by the NSPCC

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>For those of you who know me, running is not a strong point! The fact that I quite happily puff like a chimney doesn't help matters. But his year I have decided to take the plunge and will be running (or crawling...) the London marathon, doing the Rob&nbsp;Roy Challenge and doing the Three Peaks Challenge&nbsp;for the NSPCC and Childline.</p> <p>Anyone who wants to do a text donate rather than fishing about for cards can text using the following</p> <p>WKXC52 &pound;* to 70070</p> <p>This costs nothing to you, me or the charity and all that is taken is the donation amount.</p> <p>I have raised money for childline in the past and believe in this worthwhile charity. Part of the NSPCC, they do invaluable work. I have met and spoken to some of the counsellors. Some of the stories they tell (all anonymous) are harrowing, some less so, some funny but all are deeply touching and every call makes a difference to a child. Many don't know that there is a call centre in Glasgow too. So for my pain (it'll take me a month to walk afterwards I've no doubt!) and for those children who need someone to listen, please give a couple of quid.....</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>
