My story

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

For those of you that know me well, you'll know that I'm a keen athlete, as for the rest of you, well. . .

I'm Rachael, I'm 25 and I've been running for about 10 years now and thought that it was probably about time that I take the plunge and run the ultimate race in running. . .the MARATHON! I'm running the Brighton Marathon on Sunday 15th April 2012 and am hoping to raise as much money as possible for the Cardiomyopathy Association. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of heart which causes a deterioration of the function of the myocardium muscle and is something which my Nana suffers from. So please, please, please, sponsor me for this small yet very worthy charity!

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.

So please dig deep and donate now! Thank you very much!!!
