Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor Bob's New York Marathon run and help him raise money for St Anna's Childrens Home.

After almost a year of training, 2 half marathons, 1 marathon, 3 pair of runners, 5 pairs of socks, 8 packets of plasters, 27 blisters and two paddling pools of sweat Bob will be taking on the New York Marathon in November.

As part of the journey he is hoping to raise money to help the children of St Anna's. 

Your donations to make this a worthwhile journey would be greatly appreciated. 

Through Justgiving, Wintershall Charitable Trust, on behalf of St Anna's Children's home, gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure the charity receives your donation plus the Gift Aid less charges. 

St Anna's was set up by Lara de Klee and Gabby Haigh after spending time in Ghana on their gap year in 2004. The aim is for the home to accommodate 20 children who will be sent to local schools and be trained in an apprenticeship before leaving the home at age 16. Working closely with Ghanaian Social Welfare, the children will be looked after by a Christian mother and two "aunties". St Anna's now has 9 fantastic children, ranging from 18 months old to 9 years old, who have found a new family and new safe home.  To ensure these children can go to school, we need your continued support.

100% of funds raised goes straight to St Anna's - there are no admin costs involved, as all involved with St Anna's work as volunteers, so please donate now and we will keep you updated!
