Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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. 

Just a little bit about the marathon. I've done it a few times before, and people say to me "You'll be OK, you've done it before, you know what to expect". That's true, but I know that I will be saying to myself on the day "Why am I doing this again?". I guess one of the main reasons is that I've been given a place in the marathon through the ballot, and many people would love to have that opportunity. I feel lucky to have the place, as so many people are turned down year after year because it is so popular.

It's a good opportunity for me to raise money for a charity which I can choose myself, so I've chosen World Child Cancer which you can read about by using the link on this page.

Thank you for being so generous - I have a real incentive to go out there and do it! It will be tough, but I'm looking forward to the finishing line!

 

Gail.
