Story

Hi Everyone,

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.  Well I am pleased to say that I managed to complete the London Marathon this year in 5 hours and 29 minutes.  It was an enjoyable day despite the torrential rain, and the atmosphere was fantastic.  I would like to thank everyone who has donated  money to Whizz-kidz, your support is very much appreciated.  Your generous donations will help to buy the specialised equipment that will help to transform the life of a child with a disability.

 

Here's to next year!

 

Many thanks, 

 

Kathryn.
