My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

On the 15th April I will be attempting to run 26.2 miles in my first ever marathon!  I'm hoping to raise money for 'Contact the Elderly' - an excellent chartity that helps support vulnerable elderly people through-out the UK.

I have previously been involved with this chartity as a volunteer, and witnessed first-hand the great work that they do & support they provide to elderly people.  A huge number of elderly people through-out the UK live far from their family and the work that this charity does is a life-saver for them.  The charity offers everything from a friendly chat for lonely people, help with organising finances / healthcare, as well as monthly 'tea-parties' which provide a much needed chance to socialise with others from the local area.  All of this is done without government assistance so donations are essential for the charity to keep going.

Anything you can give would be really appreciated. Thanks!

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.
