My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running in aid of my wife's fantastic charity, Venture Scotland (www.venturescotland.org.uk). VS runs an intensive personal development programme for young people facing difficult issues like addiction, homelessness and mental health problems. I can honestly tell you how great they are because Jane pretty much never stops talking about it.

Seriously though I've seen the results they get with the young people they work with and it really does make a big difference to their lives.

More to the point, I'm not a massive fan of long distance running - I was built for comfort not for speed! So if you can spare a few quid it'll really help me on the day to get round the course.

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.

A big thank you from Jane and I,

Andyx
