Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This May my daughter Charlotte and I are running the Women's 10k in Glasgow to raise money for a charity called the Friends of Chernobyl's Children (FOCC).  FOCC bring children who are suffering from the long-term effects of the Chernobyl radiation to the UK for what they call 'a month of love and care.'  This boosts the children's immune systems and helps them to enjoy longer and healthier lives.  Last year we were a host family to one of these children, an 8 year old boy called Nikita.

Neither Charlotte nor I are what you would call great athletes, so training for the race has been a struggle at times, especially on cold wet days when the lure of a family sized packet of Doritos and the Emmerdale omnibus on telly was so appealling.

We would be tremendously grateful if you could make a donation, no matter how small (or indeed how large).  All money would be gratefully received and would make the struggle worthwhile.

Many thanks

Gillian and Charlotte

About the charity

To relieve the suffering of children affected by the radiation explosion from the Nuclear Plant at Chernobyl.
