Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

24 years ago I ran the Humber Bridge marathon - I was 2 stone lighter, fit and healthy. That nearly killed me! I staggered over the line in Grimsby in over 4 and a quarter hours!

For some insane reason (midlife crisis, I suspect) I'm going to do it again. I've sorted out my own flights, hotel etc so this really greta charity can benefit - please support Whizz-Kidz generously. I've picked that target level as it is what's required to buy 1 wheelchair, to change 1 child's quality of life.

I suspect I might need to borrow it for the first week in November, as carrying the extra weight is like doing the previous run, but carrying my son on my back!!

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

So please sponsor me now!
