ChildLine is the UK's free and confidential, 24 hour helpline for children in distress or danger.

Children call ChildLine about a wide range of problems, but the most common problems are abuse (both sexual and physical), bullying, serious family tensions, worries about friends' welfare and teenage pregnancy. Children and young people can call ChildLine about anything – no problem is too big or too small. ChildLine is a service provided by the NSPCC

Story

Welcome!  Thanks for visiting my page.  On the 3rd October I'll be running my first marathon – the 2010 Loch Ness Marathon!  I'm running to raise money for the NSPCC's ChildLine service.

ChildLine is the UK’s free, confidential helpline dedicated to children and young people.  I've seen how ChildLine makes a massive difference to the lives of vulnerable young people and it's a charity I really really believe in.

Every single day, thousands of children experience terrible abuse and suffer in silence.  But with your help, ChildLine can put a stop to this.  All the money we raise will help children and young people who desperately need support and protection.  So please please please donate.  THANK YOU!

P.S.  I've never really done anything like this before but I'm told that apparently, "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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.  So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.", ...so that's nice.  I don't do this sort of thing regularly, so please give whatever you can this time.  Your donations will keep me going!

Some of you may know that I'm a volunteer counsellor with ChildLine.  If anyone would like to know more about volunteering with ChildLine, or would just like to get in touch with me, my email address is:  joe.vernon@gmail.com.
