Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In what now seems to have been a huge lapse of judgement, earlier this year I foolishly signed up to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 11 October 2009. At the time, it seemed months away and I wondered how hard it could really be to run 13 miles. Well, the run is now scarily close and I can tell you, it is proving VERY hard to run 13 miles!
Ronald McDonald House
So as to make the whole painful ordeal worthwhile, I shall be raising money for my chosen charity - Ronald McDonald House. As some of you may know, I volunteer at the House connected to Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital so I know first hand what a valuable service the House provides and how much it is appreciated by the families who stay there.
For those who don’t know, Ronald McDonald House offers free accommodation to families who have children receiving treatment in the Hospital. Children are sent to the Hospital from all over the country, so the accommodation which the House provides means that families can stay together close to the child. This is particularly important for those families which have children in the Hospital for lengthy periods of time. If you’re interested in finding out more about the charity, please go to: http://www.rmhc.org.uk/index.php.
JustGiving
Donating through 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 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, and of course – wish me luck for Sunday!
Thanks in advance for your support.
