Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

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

Many thanks goes to my brother John for his initial belief that I could do this and generous initial sponsorship to secure the marathon place ... cheers bro ...

Also, thanks to my family; Salena, Yasmin, Sam and Alfie for putting up with the training and everything that goes with it.  Hopefully i'll make you proud on the day ...

To everyone who took the time to take a look or sponsor me ... many thanks.  You are helping a lot of young people who genuinely need support and help.

Chris
