I did it! I ran the London Marathon on the 26th of April 2009 (26.2 miles!!). It took me 4 hours 54 minutes, and raised £2,265.24 against a target of £1,800.
On September 20th 2009 I ran the Berlin marathon in 4hrs 49 mins and pledged to raise a further £1,000, unfortunately due to the current climate, I have only raised £500 so far
With this in mind, I have embarked on the 3 Peaks Challenge (Pennyghent, Whernside and the other one) which I completed on Saturday 12th June 2010 which I completed in 10hrs 15 mins.
If you were wondering why I put myself through it, watch the video under my picture. If you haven't got round to it - you can still sponsor me - please donate as much as you can afford, any help, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. If you can't get your head around this site - email me at ian.conroy@bt.com and we can sort something out and I will put it on this site for you.
Every day around 4,500 children call ChildLine, but lack of funds means that only 2,500 of them will get through to our counsellors for comfort, advice and protection.
What your money can achieve......................
£4 answers a call to ChildLine
£42 means a child can receive full counselling from a ChildLine volunteer
£1,600 could be used to recruit and train a ChildLine volunteer counsellor. Among other factors the more counsellors we can recruit, the more calls we can answer.
£3,476 could pay for all the costs associated with all the work a ChildLine counsellor will do during a year.
Please make a donation, even if it's only a couple of quid, it's halfway to answering one more call closer to 100%
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: ChildLine 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.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my site and please sponsor me now.....go on it's only a couple o quid innit!
