Story

Hello!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.  As you all know Billy was born with Polands Syndrome back in 2006 which means a deficiency in both his right hand and right chest.  We joined Reach soon after he was born and as a source of support, information and help we have found them wonderful and they become even more so as Billy gets older.

I really wanted to put something back into Reach as a way of thanking them so, mad woman that I am, I decided to train towards a half marathon.  (Am sure there are easier ways of fundraising but hey - I've never chosen the easy route!)

Please help me by sponsoring me for this run - all proceeds of which will go to Reach. 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Reach 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.

Thank you - I don't need to tell you how much this means to me and to Andy, Freddie and Billy -

Love Melissa (Mugsy) xx  (ps - and for all those who wanted to know - MAYBE I will run a Marathon next year!!)
