Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my Just Giving Page.

My name is Kate, I am 24 years old, married to my lovely hubby Ben for almost 5 years now! We have two gorgeous children, Ollie who is 4 and Chloe who is 2.

After having children I decided to take up running to get fit again. I started off only being able to run to the nearest bus stop, then I trained for the race for life and completed a 5k race. Now I am hooked, I have run quite a few 10k races including Crawley and Littlehampton, the Great South run (10 miles) and a few half marathons including the Barns Green, Hastings and Bournemouth.

In April 2010 i will be running the Virgin London Marathon for the first time! I have chosen to raise money for the YMCA because I worked at the Horsham Y Centre last year and I feel they do a brilliant job to encourage, support and challenge young people to become all that they can. 

So please dig deep and donate now and know that you are helping change the life of a young person!

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.
