Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>So before I turn 40 in September I thought it was about time I finally took the challenge and attempted to complete the London Marathon. There's no other marathon I'd rather do - right on my home ground! &nbsp;</p> <p>I've got a great group of friends, with whom I entered quite a few races, from a 5 miler to the 10k Grim over a motorcross track to a half marathon!!. &nbsp;They are all fantastic friends, but one in particular who we call "the coach" is always so supportive and encouraging (not to mention her friendly bullying tactics of signing people up to races without their consent!!) :-). &nbsp;Coach, or Andrea as she is most commonly known has been raising money herself, along with others in the group over the last few years for Osteoporosis since her mum was diagnosed and so for all her support and coaching skills, I wanted to raise further much needed funds. &nbsp;</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>I'm more than grateful for any donation however big or small to help me achieve my target.</p> <p>See you at the finish line!!!</p> <p>Debbie xxx</p>
