Thanks for finding my JustGiving  fundraising page

Well I've done it.  Run/Walked the Malta half marathon in 3 hours 25 minutes.  I'm exhausted but on great form.   I've still got a bit of fundraising still to go.

I am raising money for Family Holiday Association a charity who I have been working closely with for the last two years.    For over 30 years, the Family Holiday Association has been working to provide short breaks for the most needy families in our community.  The chance to enjoy a break away from the stresses of daily life is something that many of us take for granted, but thousands of children have never had the chance to experience the joy of a holiday.   These holidays can help give family members a fresh perspective, providing them with the motivation to make positive changes to their lives. 

There are some fantastic stories of families who have benefited from these holidays.  I have had the privilege to meet many of them as part of my work at sounddelivery.  I have attached for you some links to audio we have produced with some of the families.

If you would like to make a donation, however large or small, you can donate through this Just Giving website. It's simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me as it cuts down on admin and enables the FHA to concentrate on their frontline work.  The Family Holiday Association will receive your money faster and, if you are ataxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thanks very much for sponsoring me!
