My story

Hello everyone - thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to attempt a Marathon this year (the Brighton Marathon), which is something I have always wanted to do. Although its a longstanding ambition, I have always been put off by the long hard slog of training especially through the winter- and it is already starting to hurt!

I am running for a fantastic charity, CarersUK, and I hope to make as much money for them as I can. Every year 2.3 million people in the UK - about 6,000 a day - become carers for the first time. Many simply do not know what help is available.  Your donation will help Carers UK provide a range of vital services -  including an expert freephone helpline, local listening and sitting services to give carers a much needed break. 

I would be so grateful for any contribution you might be able to make to this great cause - and thank you so much for your support!

 

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.
