2010 British 10K London run · 11 July 2010 ·

Home-Start is a family support charity. We help families who are reaching breaking point because of isolation, bereavement, illness, poverty, and more. Children miss out on the most important years of their life because of family crisis. With Home-Start support, their childhood can start now.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have now signed up to compete in 3 x 26 mile walks and the 10km London Run. OMG!!! What have I let myself in for! She must be mad, she'll never do it, I hear you say. Well those of you who know me will know how determined and how competitive I can be.

So why am I doing it?

I'm competing in these events to raise money for Home-Start Sheffield.  I first heard about Home Start 4 years ago when I volunteered for them, and from the day I began my training with them I was hooked.  Home-Start helps families with children under 5 and provides friendship, support and practical help to families that are having a tough time.  As parents  we all need a friend to turn to from time to time, and that's where a Home-Start volunteer can make a real difference in the lives of parents; but more importantly in the lives of young children.

I believe every child deserves a good start in life and this is why I'm running for Home-Start and why I would love you to bits if you sponsored me.  And remember, as the Tesco add reminds us, "...Every little helps!"

Thanks again!

Michelle :o)
