Thanks everyone for the money donated, it's been very much appreciated.
I am attempting to raise as much money as possible for Julia's House by completing my first half marathon run. Julia's
House is 's only hospice dedicated to children with life-limiting conditions. The
majority of the children they care for are unlikely to live beyond the age of 18.
In 2010, Julia’s House
will need to raise nearly £2.6m and with only approximately 3 per cent of this amount coming from Government funding, every donation large or small helps, so please give what ever you can.
As most of you will know I'm not the fittest of people and I think it would probably be fair to say I'm capable getting knackered by just thinking about running for the bus! I have however decided to try and complete a half marathon and started training back at the beginning of October 2009, although I have to say running up the 'Zig Zag' cliff path after already completing 7miles does still somewhat terrify me.
So if you would help me raise some money for this worthy cause and give me the additional incentive I'm sure I'll need to finish the race I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving
page. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. 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. It’s easy, however if you wish to sponsor me using the good 'old fashioned' paper sponsorship form please let me know and I will be happy to accept sponsorship/donations through this method too.
Big thank you in advance.
