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
