Raising money for

Crimestoppers

Charity Registration No. 1108687

Crimestoppers is the independent crime-fighting charity. We help to arrest 17 criminals every day and one murderer every 5 days. Our charity runs the anonymous telephone number, 0800 555 111, that people can call to pass on information about crimes. We also have an anonymous online ‘Giving Information’ form that people can fill out to pass on information. Some people fear the consequences of going to the police when they know about a crime. Crimestoppers is there for them. Because the telephone number is anonymous, callers are not asked for any personal information and calls cannot be traced. 0800 555 111 has been helping to find criminals and solve crimes for 21 years. We’ve received more than 1 million telephone calls with useful information about crimes. It’s a system that works for everyone – except criminals. With your support, we can continue fighting crime to make our society a safer place to live.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

After devoting over 5 years of my life to helping Wrexham FC through some of its darkest days I have now decided to take on a bigger challenge, and what could be bigger than running the worlds biggest marathon.

For those that know me, it will be easy to appreciate the size of the task in hand, but it is something that I will complete.

So, why run for Crimestoppers? Quite simple really, if I am going to undertake the 6+ months of gruelling training to complete a marathon, then I felt I should at least let others benefit from my pain and tears. There are many great charities out there, but Crimestoppers is a charity that affects and indeed benefits the whole community and therefore by running for Crimestoppers I really can help make a difference that will benefit everyone.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Crimestoppers 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 me now!
