Story

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for popping by to visit my JustGiving page, the run is now over but there is still time to sponsor me if you haven't done so already.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">My training paid off and I completed the 10K in 1 hour 2 minutes!!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x</p> <p>Having suffered from an eating disorder myself, I am really grateful for any donation big or small as I feel the work First Steps Derbyshire do is invaluable to the many service users they support from all over Derbyshire and the surrounding areas. First Steps Derbyshire was the first place I felt others understood what I was going through and were therefore able to support me. As the majority of staff and volunteers have had their own personal experiences of eating difficulties and disorders, being a member of First Steps gave me HOPE that recovery was possible!&nbsp; Lots of hard work later, my recovery is going well and I am now a registered volunteer with First Steps. Please dontate generously and help me blast past my target, First Steps does amazing work, but in order to continue they need funds!</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, every penny counts :)</p>
