Thanks for visiting this page.

I am running to help those not as fortunate as my daughter Katie who at 9 months suffered a massive brain haemmorhage after a fall. Thanks to the brilliance of all the staff at the Manchester Children's Hospital, she made a full recovery.

Not everyone is as lucky as us to live 3 miles from a state of the art hospital and in an era of widepsread NHS cuts, charities like BASIC need all the help you can offer.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
