Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

On 25th April 2010 I am running 26.2 miles in the Virgin London Marathon. I am raising money for the Miscarriage Association.

As some of you will know, losing a baby in pregnancy can be a really unhappy and frightening experience. I had three miscarriages before I had Daisy & Lily. The Miscarriage Association's support & information made a real difference. 

 

The Miscarriage Association helps by providing information and support when it’s most needed and I want to help them continue doing that for others in this situation.

 

Income from event sponsorship makes up more than a quarter of The M.A.’s £200,000 annual budget, so every penny of your sponsorship will really make a difference.  What’s more, if you are a UK taxpayer and Gift Aid whatever you give, you’re adding another 28% to the charity without it costing you a thing.

 

Take a look at the figures and see what your money can do:

 

£5 pays for sending out a pack of 5 information leaflets on miscarriage facts and feelings

 

£17 pays for helpline support and a leaflet pack for one person

 

£20 means staff can send leaflet packs to four people

 

£36 will staff the helpline for an hour (responding to 2 to 4 requests for help)

 

£50 pays for one hour’s outreach costs, telling 10 nurses, midwives or doctors about The M.A.

 

£100 will enable The M.A. to train a new support volunteer

 

£250 pays for a training session for GPs or hospital doctors

 

£500 means they can send leaflet packs to 100 people

 

£1,000 will cover the cost of researching, writing and producing a new information leaflet

 

 

Donating though JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
