My story

 
Yes me and the lad are pulling on the vest and trainers again, this time to pound the Manchester streets on 17th May. 10K this time (notice I had my own personal ambulance standing by in the picture the last time I ran 10K), so it could be interesting.

This time we are looking to raise as much as we can for the Chernobyl Children's Lifeline. The aim of this wonderful charity is to help children from Belarus by bringing them to the UK for one month as a form of respite from the radiation which still effects much of the country. Belarus was the region hit most heavily by the disaster which happened in 1986 with 70% of fallout landing there.  The impact on children born subsequently has been massive. The rise in childhood cancers, leukaemia and tumours continues and life expectancy is greatly reduced in many areas as a consequence.

For the children who come to the UK, it is the trip of a lifetime.  It is estimated that a month staying here, eating clean food and breathing clean air can add as much as 2 years to their life expectancy. It costs £350 to bring each child across and last summer my family were lucky enough to be hosts via our local branch in Burtonwood, to a lovely 12 year old girl, Ksusha which was one of the most rewarding experiences we have ever had. Whilst we are unable to be a host family this year we would like to help the charity as much as we can.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Chernobyl Children's Lifeline 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.

So please sponsor us now and I promise to upload all embarrassing pictures of me after the event.

Many, many thanks

Darren and Daniel.
