My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. 

Having completed two Marathons to date in Paris and Amsterdam (Photo proof below!!) we thought it was time to go for the "big one" and participate in the London Marathon which we aim to do in under four hours on the 22nd April.

Such an ambition deserves a worthy beneficiary and what better cause we thought than Rose Road who assist those severely handicapped young people and their carers to have some respite from their daily diificulties.

So please give generously and sponsor us through this page remembering to use Gift Aid to enhance your donation where possible. We have an ambitious but achievable target.

What we can raise makes a tremendous difference as it assist the children and their parents in situations where funding is not available such as unforeseen emergencies - bereavement, illness or other serious family issues.

As well as Sponsorship we have organised an evening of entertainment on Friday 20th April (two days before the Marathon) at Itchen Abbas Village Hall where Richard Digance the famous raconteur comedian and Musician has agreed to put on a show for us and conduct an auction of promises. Tickets are £12.00 each or 6 for £60 and can be obtained from Crowded.house@virgin.net

We did finish the Marathon,altho more gruelling than expected with hot weather and a very crowded course.Peter did 4 hr 19 m 57 secs -a very fast sprint at the end. I did 4hr 20 mins 19 sec with a slower sprint! We have raised over £4,000 with gift aid-a big thanks to all of you!
