Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

Our Charity is a fund run by Licenced Hackney Carriage Taxi Drivers which was established in 1972 for Children with Special Needs from S.E London & Kent Area. We take over 300 children/carers in 100 black taxis down to Hastings for a fun day out. We also take children from Chernobyl to Herne Bay.

Story

<p><span style="font-family: Tms Rmn;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <p>Thank-you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I never thought I would be here... somehow I've managed to get myself talked into running the 2012 London Marathon. It's something that I've always wanted to do and&nbsp;said that&nbsp;I would&nbsp;do before I&nbsp;reach 40.</p> <p>Well, I turn 40 later this year and so it's now or never!</p> <p>To spur me on, I've decided to run for a great little charity, Albany Taxi Charity Fund. Each year the Charity take mentally handicapped children out on day trips all over the country to give them a day to remember.</p> <p>The Albany Taxi Charity is also turning 40 this year, which is clearly too much of a coincidence to ignore.</p> <p>I would like to raise as much as I can for this small and very worthwhile charity, so please dig deep as any contribution will be greatly received.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving,&nbsp;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. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Many thanks.</p> </span></span></p>
