My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.Francis House Childrens Hospice located in Didsbury Manchester is a lifeline in my local community. It cares for children with a short life expectancy. I have run five marathons for Francis House and will be running the Chicago Marathon on Sunday 12th October 2008. I would like to raise £5,000 for this worthy cause and you can help me do it. I will also pledge that for any excess over £5,000 I will match that excess pound for pound myself – but just in case you exceed all expectations in your generosity I have to cap the value of this pledge at £2,500. This means if you take it to £7,500 Francis House will get £10,000 plus Gift Aid !

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Francis House Children's Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
