United Response is a UK charity that supports people with learning disabilities, mental health needs and physical disabilities to live in the community, across England and in Wales.

My story

Yes, it's true: we've signed up to run the London Marathon on 26 April 2009!

So far our training schedule is going well: I've only fallen over twice, Fe's only got us lost in Streatham once, and we've kept collisions with tourists outside Buckingham Palace to an absolute minimum.

And apart from being able to indulge in large guilt-free bowls of pasta and porridge, the real benefit to this ludicrous plan is the chance we have to raise lots of money for United Response, a national charity that helps people with learning difficulties, mental health needs and physical disabilities to live their lives the way they want to. You can read some inspirational stories about the charity's fantastic work at www.unitedresponse.org.uk.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Many thanks indeed for your generous support.
