About my charity : Dreams Come True Charity Dreams Come True Charity
Dreams Come True is a UK children’s charity whose sole purpose is to fulfil the dreams of terminally and seriously ill children and young people aged 2 to 21. In the last twenty years we have helped make over 3500 dreams come true and as a result debilitating illness, painful treatment and an uncertain future have been transformed with happiness, fun and wonderful, everlasting memories. You can make a world of difference by helping us make more dreams become a reality. If we can find a way to make a dream come true we will as we believe the only limit is a child’s imagination.

My personal message:

Hello!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

You can read all about the excellent work Dreams Come True do thru their website at www.dctc.org.uk

Those of you who know me very well will be well aware that in October weighing in at 115kgs i embarked on a bit of a health kick. A friend challenged me and some friends to try the marathon and i signed up, hauled myself off the sofa, away from the TV and embarked on the biggest challenge of my life.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Dreams Come True Charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support, it truely, truely means a lot to me.

Carl
