My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In May next year I will be running around Lake Windermere for ten days to raise funds for Brathay. The '10 in 10' attracted me for both the challenge and the charity.

I've been running for about ten years and in that time run a few marathons, including some ultramarathons, but never anything as demanding as running a total of 262 miles in just ten days! This really will be a tough event, but one for which I'm already training hard. (Read more about my running at annakatfinn.blogspot.com.)

Brathay's purpose it to enable children and young people to make positive choices by taking personal responsibility for improving their wellbeing. They organise a range of projects to work with those under the age of 25 who are most disadvantaged or vulnerable, who have suffered abuse or neglect, social exclusion or who are outside employment, education and training. The projects often include visits to the beautiful environment around Brathay Hall in the Lake District, often the first time these young people have been outside an urban setting. They help children and young people have access to formal and informal education to enable them to fulfil their potential. 

Please sponsor me for this brilliant cause that really does have a huge impact on the future of these children's lives. 

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.

Good luck Anna, I hope you enjoy it and dont get bored! Donation by Hellen 29/11/09
