My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As you may or may not know, I'm running the London Marathon in just under 3 weeks! It's pretty tough running 26 miles (especially when you have my Weeble like physique) but having a good cause to focus on makes it that little bit easier...or at least that's what I'll be telling myself after 20 miles!

Anyway, I know times are tough but I'd really appreciate it if you could spare a few pounds for Maternity Worldwide as they're doing a fantastic job and every penny you give will go a long way.

And by the way, if any one fancies coming down on the day to cheer me on it would be much appreciated. I'll be the one in the comedy ostrich outfit (not really).

Thanks!

Ben

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Maternity Worldwide gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
