My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.  Steve Hawkins and Pete Goodhall of Xeretec Office Systems Ltd are running the Chicago Marathon for the charity Get Kids Going.

 

Despite both carrying current injuries and always saying 'never again' after our previous two world majors - we are about to embark on another -  the Bank of America Chicago Marathon!!  We are attempting to complete our third of the five major world marathons and as per before we thought we would raise some money for those not quite so fortunate.

 

We appreciate that times are a little tough at the moment ,but if you could please dig deep and donate whatever you can afford to a very worthwhile charity in Get Kids Going, then many young lives will be the better for it.  If you are not familier with the work GKG do, please click on this link and read more about the charity http://www.getkidsgoing.com/ 

 

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 - We raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
