Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is the link to my blog if you want to keep up with how the training is going.</p> <p><a href="http://fat-lad-september-from-hell.blogspot.com/">http://fat-lad-september-from-hell.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>Well, For those of you who don't know me my name is Darren and I am the proud father of twin girls.&nbsp;</p> <p>A Few weeks ago I had the sudden urge to do something for charity, suggestions were made from friends and this is the result. Some friends and me are going to attempt to climb the 3 highest mountans in Britain in under 24 hrs. That's Ben Nevis (<span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">4,409 ft), Scaffel Pike (</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">3,209 ft) and Snowdon (</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">3,560 ft).</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">That's not the end though, well not for me anyway. My wife, in her wisdon thought it would be good for me to do the Great North Run (half marathon) as well. So a mere two weeks later I'll be off again.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">I am doing this to raise money and awareness for TAMBA, as a father of twins I know how scary the heightened risk of my wifes pregnancy was for me and in the end we were blessed with two healthy girls, but this unfortunately is not the case for everyone and just a small donation can help the people who need support in there time of need.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Here's the science part :-</span></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>Thanks for taking the time to visit the page, and in the words of Sir Bob Geldoff - "Now give us yer f@@@ing Money!!!"</p>
