Story

It is very exciting to be running the London Marathon again - this year, I have been offered a place to run for the Thalassaimia Society UK - a charity supporting a pupil at  Chandlings - the school at which I teach.

Sabrena suffers from a genetic blood disorder requiring daily twelve hour infusions, which involve a needle being inserted into her tummy, giving her medication throughout the night and monthly blood transfusions.

Despite Sabrena's condition, she is a happy, integrated member of her class.  This is an opportunity for Sabrena's friends to get a better understanding of her situation and a meaningful way for many children at school, to participate in helping her.

Donating through this site is simple and totally secure - and if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your donation at no extra cost to you.

So please sponsor me now !

Thank you -

Deirbhle
