Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

Left undiagnosed and unsupported, dyslexia negatively impacts children and young people. It affects their self-esteem. Their ability to learn. Their life chances. With your support, Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity can help people with dyslexia from all backgrounds to believe, achieve and succeed.

Story

Hello.  If you're on my fundraising page you've spelt my name correctly. Well done!                             (Even harder for someone with dyslexia.)

I've always wanted to run the London Marathon before I turn 40, but if I leave it to next year it will be a week before the big birthday and I WANT TO DANCE at my party!

Please sponsor me and donate generously to the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre to help with:

assessment and specialist tuition

teacher training

research

To make my minimum target of £1000

I need 100 friends to SPONSOR ME £10 EACH....       (or 50 friends @ £20,  or 10 friends @ ....)

                  THAT'S YOU!

Your support will spur me on in my running, today and on the 26th April.

So, take a few minutes to complete the form.       (Again harder for someone with dyslexia.)

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre 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. 

          THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK  YOU

Love from, (hungrier than usual) Ingrid
