My story

 

Welcome to my fundraising page.

To celebrate my 50th year I have set myself an ambitious

‘5 at 50 Challenge’.  Before my 51st birthday I am going to attempt to run 5 classic distances totalling over 100km. Having never run more than a half marathon before, this really is going to test my endurance and stamina to the limits. However, I am determined to successfully complete each run in the knowledge I may have your support to spur me on (particularly the marathon and Lake District runs). My fundraising target of £50k is no mean feat, so I’m going to need all the help I can get! Please dig deep and help The Trussell Trust to continue restoring dignity and reviving hope in 2009.

·         Calling all runners! If you’d like to join me in the challenge you would be very welcome – you can run as many events as you like, recruiting your own sponsorship for the Trussell Trust along the way. For details visit http://www.trusselltrust.org/

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