My story

Hello all!

Thank you very much for visiting my fundraising page.

As most of you know I have lost 5 ½ stone in the last 2 years so to celebrate I thought I’d run a marathon! Seems a bit mad now but my training is going well! And of course I have chosen to run and raise money for KidsCan. No matter how much or how little you donate it will be greatly appreciated! Also you are welcome to come and cheer me on!!!

 

This April, I will be taking part in the Greater Manchester Marathon for KidsCan.

KidsCan is the only charity which researches into specifically children's cancers.

If you’ve never heard about KidsCan, please take the time to visit our website

 

No other charity is known to, and yet they receive no statutory funding.

They rely on super volunteers to encourage the general public to dig deep and help them out!

 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: KidsCan gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me today!

You can follow KidsCan on Twitter and Facebook!
