Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

The Sick Children’s Trust is the charity that gives families with a seriously ill child in hospital a comfortable place to stay and a friendly ear to listen in one of our ten ‘Homes from Home’. By providing families with somewhere to stay near their child they have one less thing to worry about.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>On Sunday 22nd April I will be running my second London Marathon to raise money for The Sick Children's Trust, dressed as Bananaman! Andy Hind a parent from Westlands School where I work will also kindly be running alongside me dressed as Spiderman! This year The Sick Children's Trust will be celebrating its 30th birthday! The trust provides families with accomodation to stay in whilst their child is hospitalised for lengthy periods. The trust is completely reliant upon donations. (Just &pound;30 can house a family for one night.) The Sick Children's Trust has supported my family on many occasions when my youngest daughter Evie has undergone treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Without their support families, such as mine would not be able to remain close together as a family when their child has major surgery or is unwell. It's a proven fact that any child whilst unwell needs the love, support and warmth of their immediate family in order to get better. I owe a lifetime of thanks to the trust and hope that you will once again dig deep to help me reach my challenging target of &pound;3,500. Even the smallest of donations will make a difference.</p>
