Fundraising for Young Lives vs Cancer
Story
Hi,
Many of you were kind enough to sponsor me for the Cardiff Half Marathon 2007 back in October. This was my first long distance race and you may remember I managed to finish in 2 hours and 11 minutes raising £2, 035 for Barnado's work to help and support under-privileged and vulnerable children.
Well I guess I caught the bug for long distance running! On the 2nd of March I am taking part in the Reading Half Marathon 2008. Originally I had not intended to ask for sponsorship this time, but when I heard that the main charity is Clic Sargent I decided I had to try to raise some money for them. Here's what they do:
CLIC Sargent: Every 24 hours, 10 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia. From that moment on their lives will never be the same again. CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading children’s cancer charity is there for each family, caring every step of the way. We look after children and young people with cancer and leukaemia and their families through nurses, social workers, homes from home, research, financial support and advice, and holidays.
I would really welcome your support.
Please take a moment to sponsor me. It's really easy - you can donate online by credit or debit card on this interactive website.
All donations are secure and sent electronically to Clic Sargent. If you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving will automatically reclaim 28% Gift Aid on your behalf, so your donation is worth even more.
In addition to your donations, Vodafone will also make a matching contribution (up to a maximum of £350).
Please join me in supporting Clic Sargent and a fabulous cause.
Thanks and best wishes,
Andy
