Vicky Galbraith is raising money for CCHF All About Kids
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Leicester Marathon 2009 · 11 October 2009 ·

CCHF exists to provide severely disadvantaged children aged 7-11 with a range of residential activity, respite breaks and ongoing contact. The aim is to improve the quality of their lives, recognise their potential and achieve their goals in the safest possible environment. Since its inception in 1884, CCHF has helped over 2million children. Many of the children come from backgrounds including poverty, isolation, neglect and abuse, some are young carers or a sibling or parent and some have suffered from bereavement or family breakdown. Often, their natural play areas are rife with drugs, gang culture, violence and crime. We receive no statutory funding and rely totally on the generosity of our donors and supporters.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Once upon a time I though it might be a good idea to run a marathon... (now I'm not so sure). Both my body and mind are going to go through hell I think, so please make it worth my while. This is my first ever (and likely onl ever) marathon. I'm running for two charities: CCHF and LOROS.

Children's Country Holiday Fund is a charity where Al and I have been volunteering this year - it provides short holidays for children who are neglected, disadvantaged and generally exposed to all sorts of things that kids shouldn't be exposed to. It's been fantastic to be part of providing kids with a fun break and their day to day trauma, and as it's the charities 125th year, I thought it'd bee a worthy cause.

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!
