Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London half Marathon to raise money and awareness for The Miscarriage Association.

My wife and I have been very fortunate to eventually have two children, but it was a long road to get there, with many setbacks and heartbreaks along the way. Losing a baby in pregnancy can be a really unhappy and frightening experience.

The Miscarriage Association helps by providing information and support when it’s most needed and I want to help them continue doing that for others in this situation.

Income from event sponsorship makes up more than a quarter of The MA's £200,000 annual budget, so every penny of your sponsorship will really make a difference.  What’s more, if you are a UK taxpayer and Gift Aid whatever you give, you’re adding another 28% to the charity without it costing you a thing.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for your help. Wish me (and my feet) luck

Dan
