Thanks for clicking through, now all you need to do is sponsor me!!
I was never a runner at school...or University...but during my time in London, I have seen the London marathon runners and been inspired, from the sidelines!
So now I have taken it upon myself to start pacing the streets of West London, get chased by dogs ("Flavia" in Kensington Gardens), reshape my feet with some sizeable blisters, eat lots of extra chocolate and not feel guilty, buy lycra and stay off the cider!
The reason for all of this is of course, for the Sailors. A charity which you might not have come across previously, but whilst not thrashing about in our great seas (and I hope swigging some rum), these guys face docking in highly mechanised environments. However, the Sailors' Society provides a lifeline to the seafarers once they step ashore.
Did you know, over 95% of the world's trade upon which we all depend is transported by sea however the seafareres are often forgotten.
So, please whip out your flexible friend and support this worthy charity and my marathon run!
Thanks,
Olivia
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Sailors’ Society 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.
