Story

<p>NOTE: Still open for donations!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Done! 26.2 miles!!! It hurt a lot, but I am very happy I did it! Thank you so much to all of you who donated and supported me throughout the training and on the day - really really appreciated!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I was proud to run for St John Ambulance and saw what a difference they made just on that one day. If you haven't donated yet, then I would be grateful if you can help to reach my fundraising target - your&nbsp;money will go to supporting St&nbsp;John Ambulance's lifesaving work&nbsp;- every year up to 150,000 people die in situations where first aid could have given them a chance to live. St John Ambulance teaches people first aid so that they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Their volunteers provide first aid at events like the London Marathon and their presence is integral to making the event a success and allowing thousands of people to raise money for all kinds of good causes. Living by a football ground, I am aware of St John Ambulance's presence every week, and am always impressed with their commitment to providing vital first aid backup so people can safely attend and enjoy the matches. I will be proud to run for them on the day and hope you will join me in supporting them. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.&nbsp;</p>
