Raising money for

Dreams Come True Charity

Charity Registration No. 800248

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 story

Thanks for even thinking of sponsoring me.

I have rashly decided to put some of my time to good use and entered the NY Marathon. To run in November I need the sponsorship up front as Dreams Come True have to confirm flights, accomodation and entry. I need £2800 to qualify but am not going to stop there. And i need to raise it by June 5th. I promise that even if I injure myself before I will walk or wheelchair round!

I know times are tough but if you could help put a smile on a brave childs face I'd be very grateful.

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

Thanks to you all,

Chris
