WellChild

Charity Registration No. 289600

WellChild is the national charity for sick children and provides practical help for children and their families as they deal with serious illness and complex conditions. Funded solely by the people of the UK, for more than 30 years, WellChild has been instrumental in saving the lives of thousands of sick children across a range of conditions covering the three key areas of:

Care - WellChild has created a team of WellChild Children's Nurses who work with sick children and their families in the community to give care and practical support to children living at home with complex care needs.

Support - To provide practical and tangible support to young people and families, WellChild has created its Helping Hands scheme which enlists the practical support of volunteers right across the country to tackle one-off projects in the homes of sick children.

Research - WellChild's dedication to helping sick children both now and in the future is shown by the charity's investment of more than £20 million in life-changing and ground-breaking children's health research projects.

My story

Dear friends,

After many years of wanting to run the London Marathon, I have finally done it!!!

I was there on Sunday 26th April 2009 at the start and the finish line - it just took me 7 hours and 25 minutes :-)

I walked all the way around the course except for the last 20 yards! I collected money for WellChild along the way and wore a red wig as you can see from the picture on the left :-)

I am supporting WellChild who do some amazing work with sick children, who often have to go through huge challenges.

Check out WellChild's work and how they are helping some extraordinarily brave children by watching this You Tube video:-

I trained for many months to walk the course and it all paid off. People at the end kept telling me how fresh I looked!

My target is £1,200 but with your generous support I hope to raise more than this.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.

So please sponsor me now! And remind me to buy you a drink next time we meet :-)

Many thanks for your support

:-)
