Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As many of you know, Dave had a nasty fall four years ago resulting in a head injury which left him with severe physical and psychological disabilities. Life as we knew it changed abruptly at that point. However, with the help of family, friends and the fantastic and tireless support that he received from ICANHO, The Suffolk Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre, which is part of the Livibility charity, he is now leading a normal, productive and active life once more. He still has the odd problem but ICANHO are still there to help him when he needs it.
As a way of thanking Icanho and to ensure that this amazing facility continues to help others in similar situations, we have been asked to run in this half marathon. Easy for Dave, as he runs everywhere!!! But it will be Ben and Beckys first long run and Becky has only just had a baby and as for me, well, I'm not getting any younger and was really quite happy to slip into the grandma roll with very little effort!!!
AND as we are late entries, we only have 8 weeks in which to train, so going from not doing anything, or in my case just once a week, to running four times a week is a real challenge for us. So we are begging you to give us your support and encouragement to complete this and reach our target to ensure that this charity can continue to give help when and wherever it is needed as this kind of injury can happen to anyone at any time.
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.
Thankyou sooo much,
Tina, Dave, Ben and Becky (as of Aug 26th, the next Mrs Dixon in training :)
