My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So why am I raising money for the Miscarriage Association? 

Someone has to.  They need a relatively small amount of money to keep going every year, and the work they do is really essential.

In 2009 and 2010, Helen and I lost 2 babies in the space of 5 months.  The loss we felt was immense and still is. 

So, in 2012 I will be completing Wainwrights Coast to Coast walk,  from St Bee's Head on the Cumbrian coast, to Robin Hoods Bay on the North East coast, a walk of approximately 200 miles.

It should take about two weeks and I will be camping whenever possible to keep the costs down.  You can follow my progress on my blog at  Gary's Coast 2 Coast blog

Don't feel you have to give lots - every penny really does help. 

In fact you could just text AKHU92 £1 to 70070 to sponsor me now. Thanks.

Send the website address to everyone you know - all I need is for 1000 people to give £1 each and I've made my target.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
