I’ve long been a supporter of children’s charities and my colleagues have been busy fundraising for holidays for local children all year, so here is a great opportunity to do my part.  Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre offers holidays for children aged 8-14 years where family circumstances are difficult or finances will not stretch to a family holiday.  I am doubling my efforts to try and raise £2,000 for DCHC by running 2 marathons within 8 weeks.
