Well I did it! I managed to complete all 13.1 miles in 2 hours 24 minutes and 21 seconds. Abig thank you to all those who contributed to my charity of choice. I am still getting contributions so will update these pages soon but I think, thanks to you, I have raised over £520. More details of my run can be found on my Blog, details below, and thank you once again for your support. Chris Welcome Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I am running the Leeds half marathon in September to raise money for the Mayor of Calderdale's charity The West Yorkshire Forget-Me-Not Trust. Seeing as the furthest I've ever run before was to the pub from the car in the carpark then as you can imagine it's going to be quite a challenge. Their aim is to build a hospice for children with life-limiting and life threatening illnesses. The strain on families who have to look after such children 24 hours a day, seven days a week is immense and the hospice will help meet the needs of the whole family by providing care and support. At the moment the nearest children's hospice for families in West Yorkshire is either Wetherby or in Manchester. Therefore there is a very real need for such a hospice. The hospice will provide specialist respite, emergency, palliative and terminal care in a child friendly family centred environment. There will be care for the child and support for parents and siblings. The current situation
The Trust have currently raised £1 million but need to reach a target of £3 million. Any donations or assistance you can give towards thecause would be most welcome.
Donating Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The West Yorkshire Forget-me-not Trust Ltd 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, Chris PS Follow my progress on my Blog http://cawmyblog.blogspot.com/
