Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Fate decided that this year I am taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life. 26.2 miles around London on April 21st. The day itself will be hard but I think I am more scared of the miles in the legs before that!

I am running for a charity called Family Action. Maybe you have heard of them, maybe not but they have been around for a really long time (circa 1869). They tackle some of the most complex and difficult issues facing families today – including domestic abuse, mental health problems, learning disabilities and severe financial hardship. Among other things they also provide support to young carers. 

Thank you thank you thank you for your support of this great charity and of me. All your thoughts and best wishes will help me get round on the day!

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 please dig deep and donate now.
