My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Earlier this year, Forrest decided to adopt a charity for the whole of 2009 and could think of no more worthy a cause than Yorkhill Children's Foundation.   The charity provides services and medical equipment which help sick children who come to the Royal Hospital at Yorkhill, Glasgow

The Board of Forrest Group have decided to run the New York marathon in November and have been following a strict training regime since the beginning of the year, which basically consists of run, eat, run, sleep, run, eat etc etc!!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and sponsor the guys for as much or as little as you can.
