Barretstown helps rebuild lives affected by childhood cancer & serious illness. Children come to Barretstown to take part in our unique programmes, designed to help them recover from the emotional trauma of serious illness. They leave stronger, more independent & with a renewed sense of confidence.

Story

My dear friend Nicole has been actively involved with Barretstown (http://www.barretstown.org/) for a while and is now running her 1st ever event for them. Out of solidarity, and very impressed by this fantastic cause, I have decided to join her in this endeavour.

"Barretstown improves the lives of children and their families affected by childhood cancer and other serious illness, rebuilding their confidence, trust, self-esteem through therapeutic recreation"

First event was the London Triathlon on the 2nd of August, where my 2h48 were quite good considering I struggled with leaky goggles at the start of the swim, I didn't really get to train on my bike, and probably because of that got terrible cramps on my thighs when started the run!

Run to the Beat Half-Marathon in Greenwich on September 27th is our main Barretstown fundraising event and fast approaching! In a few weeks time, I will also be doing the New York City Marathon on November the 1st.

Please help me support these children by donating to Barretstown.

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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Muchas gracias!

Gabriel
