Story

 

Hi friends,

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page.

On 21st April I ran the London Marathon for Amnesty International in a time of 3 hours and 41 minutes!

I couldn't have got there without all the support that I received from everyone - I'm truly grateful to all of the people who've supported me thus far! I've not finished yet though! If you haven't donated i've got one month to reach my target of £1800!

I trained for 6 months, gave up smoking and completely changed my lifestyle to be able to achieve this goal, and I did it because I think Amnesty are one of the most important and inspiring groups on the planet.

I don’t need to tell you about the incredible work that Amnesty do, but if you need some reminding, take a look at a few of the case studies here:

Amnesty’s commitment to defending human rights, it’s political campaigns, it’s education and it’s research on human rights abuses makes it, in my opinion, the most important, progressive charity that we have. I’m really proud to be running for such a great cause.

I’m asking you, nay begging you, to support me in raising money for Amnesty.

 

Oh, and 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.

Don’t forget to include Gift Aid too! It doesn’t cost you anything and makes a real difference in trying to meet my target.
