Story

<p>Thank you for taking a look at our page...</p> <p>On 17th April, the same day as The London Marathon, a group of Thirty Five&nbsp;friends will be joining all the&nbsp;athletes up in town for a well deserved packet of&nbsp;Jelly Babies&nbsp;at the finish line....having taken part in&nbsp;the 'Cowboys for Cruse, Alternative London Marathon'&nbsp;(walking from&nbsp;Hampton Court&nbsp;to Westminster) Which is also 26 miles!</p> <p>We are hoping to&nbsp;make like gypsies and grab a few people&nbsp;along the way to raise&nbsp;some money&nbsp;for a charity called Surrey North&nbsp;Cruse Bereavement Care, but it would be great to have some extra help from our many friends, yes you!</p> <p>Cruse desperately needs money to train their volunteers in grief counselling.&nbsp; It's such a valuable service for those who are coping with losing a loved one, a service that most&nbsp;people dont know exists, until they need it.</p> <p>We know that&nbsp;lots of&nbsp;people are asking for money for running the marathon, which is&nbsp;obviously a huge effort! &nbsp;So we&nbsp;aren't expecting enormous donations, just any spare change you may have to help us to&nbsp;help Cruse and to spur us on through the&nbsp;blisters, the back ache&nbsp;and&nbsp;obviously the pain of us all having&nbsp;to put up with each other for a whole day!</p> <p>We have this site set up for online donations but please get in contact if you would like to donate another way.</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.
