Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am participating in this years London Marathon for the 4th time .I have been fortunate enough to have gained a place through the ballot for the third consecutive year. I therefore feel it is important to use the opportunity to raise some money for a worthy cause.
I lost my best friend and my brother in law both to cancer six years ago within the space of two months , my uncle lost a long battle against cancer last year and I know too many others who have suffered either directly with the illness or have had friends or relatives whose lives have been impacted by it.Raising money for charities who support those suffering with the illness or affected by it is a cause close to my heart .
This year I have decided to raise funds for Willen Hospice , a local organisation based in Milton Keynes. In their own words "Willen Hospice is a registered charity that provides specialist care for people whose illness no longer responds to curative treatment (also known as specialist palliative care)"
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 UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Many thanks for your support.
