Raising money for

WellChild

Charity Registration No. 289600

WellChild is the national charity for sick children and provides practical help for children and their families as they deal with serious illness and complex conditions. Funded solely by the people of the UK, for more than 30 years, WellChild has been instrumental in saving the lives of thousands of sick children across a range of conditions covering the three key areas of:

Care - WellChild has created a team of WellChild Children's Nurses who work with sick children and their families in the community to give care and practical support to children living at home with complex care needs.

Support - To provide practical and tangible support to young people and families, WellChild has created its Helping Hands scheme which enlists the practical support of volunteers right across the country to tackle one-off projects in the homes of sick children.

Research - WellChild's dedication to helping sick children both now and in the future is shown by the charity's investment of more than £20 million in life-changing and ground-breaking children's health research projects.

My story

After many years of watching and supporting as other people 'enjoyed' the delights of marathons and other challenges, I have finally succumbed to the pressure and will be taking part in the Great North Run in September.

I will be running, of course, for WellChild which - for those of you that don't know - is an unbelievable charity doing amazing things for seriously ill children and young people in the UK.

If I hit my fundraising target of £1,054, I will have raised enough to pay for a WellChild Nurse for one week. The WellChild Nurses do an incredible job getting sick children out of hospital and back with their families - and the charity is working to expand the network so your help would be greatly appreciated.

Think about it this way - it's 10 people donating £105.40 or 20 people donating £52.70 or 50 people donating £21.08. It doesn't sound so much when you put it like that does it??!

Thank you for your support, it really will make a difference both to the children and families supported by WellChild - and the motivation I need to kick my 40-year-old aching bones into shape!

Cheers

Colin
