Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Please do support my efforts on behalf of Family Rights Group. Both the charity and I are new to marathon running - but at least that means I'll be setting a record for the charity, however, long it takes me to get to the finish! My hope however, is to complete the race in four hours
The monies raised will make an important contribution to the Charity's target of raising £20000 to fund its campaign work to improve the situation of grandparents raising grandchildren who cannot live with their parents due to trajedy or trauma. The charity estimates there are more than 200,000 children in this country being raised by family and friends carers, such as grandparents, aunts and uncles. Many of these children are extremely vulnerable and the relatives raising them are older and have health and financial difficulties. These family and friends carers are struggling to survive financially, emotionally and socially, receiving little, if anything, from the state to meet these children’s needs. The charity is seeking to raise in total £20,000 to fund its campaign and lobbying work so that: these children's needs are no longer invisible to politicians, the media and the rest of society; and we can present decision makers with considered and practical solutions.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Family Rights Group 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.
