Willow Foundation - Willow 10K Race · 22 November 2009 ·

Willow is the only UK charity supporting seriously ill 16 to 40 year olds by providing unique and positive Special Days. Since 1999 Willow has fulfilled more than 23,500 Special Days for young adults living with life-threatening conditions such as cancer, motor neurone disease and cystic fibrosis.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  Please donate to this really worthy cause. Also,  I'm not trying to gain the sympathy vote but the conditions were awful !.  Torrential rain, howling wind, and to top it all off, hailstones !. Poor Simon had to help save the gazebo from blowing away at one point. 

I was lucky enough to meet Bob Wilson who set the charity up together with his wife Meg, in memory of their daughter Anna who died from cancer aged just 31.  The Willow Foundation is the only charity of its kind providing special days for 16 to 40 year olds. Special days aim to provide young adults living with life-threatening conditions a chance to escape the pressures of their daily routine and share quality time with family and/or friends. The charity has now been going for ten years and in their first year they arranged 71 special days growing to 1,375 last year.

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.

I know Christmas is coming but anything you could spare would be much appreciated.
