My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page....let me tell you briefly what I'm trying to do.

Last year I completed my first trail race running 15k up and down hills in Coniston. The picture on the left shows me before that race - I was looking a lot less comfortable at the end! This year I have entered a series of 5 tough trail races around Cumbria (all very hilly and distances up to 24k) culminating in the Helvellyn Trail Race in November. I will need to train hard throughout this year to complete them all.

To keep motivated I am aiming to raise £5000 for 5 Big Runs! There are many great causes out there but I am supporting TOYBOX. This charity does amazing work in Latin America rescuing street children from the most desperate situations. Many lives have been transformed through their work.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Toybox 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. If for any reason you prefer to donate offline, please send me a cheque made payable to THE TOYBOX CHARITY.

So please sponsor me now - any gift large or small will be greatly appreciated.
