Flora London Marathon 2008 · 13 April 2008 ·

We exist to defend the right to a safe home and fight the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and society. We believe that home is everything.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online to help others not as fortunate as ourselves.

In 2008 I will fulfil a lifetime ambition to run the London Marathon.  Those of you who know me will recognise that I have spent many years totally immersed in netball, netball and more netball (I loved every minute!).  However time is right to take on a new challenge and at the same time support a charity I feel very strongly about.

We all go home at night to somewhere warm, safe and secure and we have a  roof over our heads.  Not everyone has that luxury and by running in the London Marathon next year I hope to raise over £1600 to support the work done by Shelter to improve the lives of homeless people.  Please help me to help them.

London Marathon 2008 is also celebrating 100 years of the marathon event itself.  What a tremendous honour to be running in the centenial year.  Please support me.  I will commit totally to training to ensure that I complete the race no matter how long it takes.  What will drive me is that I will be making a small contribution to help others less fortunate than myself.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Shelter will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.  Remember, 13 April 2008!!
