Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So, after several years of entering the ballot of the London Marathon with the assurance I could say 'I applied and didn't get a place'... I now have a place!! 

After completing my first Parkrun (5km) last January, I have steadily built up my running and now part way through a 16 week training programme to get me to Marathon distance.

The Charity I am raising money for is The Grand Appeal - The Bristol Childrens Hospital Charity. 

Over 100,000 children from across Bristol, the South West and South Wales are treated at Bristol Children’s Hospital every year. Many of the young patients are local children, while some families travel across the region for specialist care and others from the whole of the UK for bone marrow transplants.

The Grand Appeal supports Bristol Children’s Hospital with pioneering, life-saving equipment and research, including ventilators, a cardiac hybrid theatre and an inter-operative MRI scanner, so that each child receives the best care possible. Comfort for families is offerred through our Grand Appeal family support worker and their home-from-home accommodation, where parents and siblings stay free of charge, for as long as they need. We ensure the hospital is a vibrant and child friendly place and help distract the young patients through our music therapy, art and play programmes. 

Please consider adding Giftaid if in the UK. 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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity
