Vasaloppet - 92km cross-country ski marathon · 7 March 2010

We support Ward 3 at The Great North Children's Hospital, where families live in a protective bubble. Whether it’s funding cutting-edge research, providing emotional and practical support for families, or ensuring children can still be children, everything we do is centred around care and hope.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to check out my JustGiving page. It has taken a little longer to publish than i would have hoped for but in doing so, it gives me great motivation towards completing my goal.

            *****   A big thank you to Bloomberg as well for matching every £1 i raise up to £2500!   *****

 

The Vasaloppet is a cross country/nordic ski marathon held in Sweden that covers over 90km of terrain. I came to learn about the event because it finishes in a town called Mora where many of my relatives live. How i entered is a different story and this is owed to my cousin Steve and his sidekick Billy.

Simply; they have entered the event for the last 3 or so years and i have been invited on each occasion. This year however, i was invited under different conditions and i may have given way to a little dutch courage.

Suffice to say, i will attempt to complete the event, not helped by my experience however, as i have only ever tried the activity once...perhaps running the london marathon would have been easier (a paradox in itself).

By supporting me to do the Vasaloppet, you will be making a huge difference for the Bubble Foundation. The reason i chose the charity was because i attended one of their charity balls in September and i was shocked to hear about those that suffer.

So please...give generously! OncOnce you donate, JustGiving will 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. Below are some links about the event and the charity that you might find interesting:
