<p>"Put your name in the hat and cross your fingers" they said. "Yeah ok, no chance of me winning a run club VLM place" I said.....</p> <p>So 2012 and I'm delighted to say I'm in the Virgin London Marathon again. Last year I focused on cancer charities so this year I decided to change and have chosen to run for Refuge who are committed to a world where domestic violence is not tolerated or ignored and where women and children can live in safety.</p> <p>Shockingly, one woman in four experiences domestic violence at some point in her life. Details of their incredible work can be seen on their website here <a href="http://refuge.org.uk/">http://refuge.org.uk/</a></p> <p>Please help by donating here on my page or texting KNEE51 &pound;2 to 70070 to donate &pound;2 (you can amend the amount if you would like to give more).</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; 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>Thank you for taking the time to read my page and thank you even more if you were able to donate. <br><br>Sandra x</p>
