My story

 
******* COMPLETED IN 4:09:48 THANK YOU VERY MUCH *******



Hullo, Derm and Jimmy here.

In less than an actual month, we're going to try and run the Blackpool Marathon.

Because we're stoopid?

Yes.

But also for HCPT - The Pilgrimage Trust.  Every year, it takes around 2000 disabled children to Lourdes, France for a pilgrimage holiday.

We've both been helpers for the trip and we know how valuable it is for each of the children.  Each child that comes doesn't pay a penny towards their trip:  All the fundraising is down to volunteers. 

We are passionate about how great this trip is for every child we bring and to put a week-long smile on a face is nigh on priceless

... except ... it's not.  It costs £580 for every child. As we said, they don't pay anything.  It's generous people like YOU who make it possible to send a child to Lourdes for seven brilliant days.

There's two of us; so it's realistic to hope to raise enough money to send two wonderful young people on an unforgettable week.

£1160 is a long way to go (so is 26.2 miles) so please donate as generously as you can.

This charity is boss.

If you see us around, you can donate in person:  That'd be the best way to do it, so we can thank you face to face.

Alternatively, use this page. You can also e-mail us on diarmuidjwhite@hotmail.com.

Whatever way you donate, please just pay up and play.

Thank you

Derm and Jimmy xx
