Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>For most of my life running a marathon was just a dream. Having secured a ballot place in the London Marathon it made it possible for me to raise money for a really inspirational charity. The Message Trust is a christian charity working in areas of the UK with many people who don't have much of a future, especially young people and families. They really make a difference for individuals but change the culture in many communities. Please visit their website or see this clip on youtube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_6293PYoQ0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_6293PYoQ0</a></p> <p>.</p> <p>I know that for many times are hard financially. Please do support the Message Trust as I stomp around London proving to all those PE teachers that thought I was useless that speed is not everything ..just finnishing the challenge!!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
