Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help the Aged will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So, why Help The Aged???
In my opinion Help The Aged is a very worthy cause to run for, afterall, old age will creep up on us all one day. (visit Helptheaged.org.uk to see what they are doing for elderly people across the UK and worldwide) In part I am doing this in memory of my Grandparents who both sadly passed away this year, but I am also running to raise awareness of the issues and problems facing all elderly people today. The facts below are astonising if you really think about it- Would you really want to spend christmas day alone??
Age is something that affects everyone, so please sponsor me for the Flora London Marathon if you can and help me raise money and promote awareness of disadvantaged older people. I am training damn hard for this, out running in the dark and the rain when id much rather be curled up on the sofa, eating a fat chocolate cake and watching Eastenders! But im finding the strength, time and effort because its something I really believe in.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and many many thanks for sponsoring me.
