<p>I have shaken off a few pounds recently and wanted to make use of carrying a bit less timber running the Derby 10K and give a little help to a charity local to me by doing so.</p> <p>Please do sponsor me, your soon to be former token fat friend, and help out Children First Derby. They are a Derby based charity working with children and families to make a positive impact in their lives and the local community.</p> <p>More about the work they do, such as contact, befirending, signposting and mentoring services and providing day trips, can be found at http://www.childrenfirstderby.co.uk/what_we_do.html</p> <p>Thank you <em>very </em>much.</p> <p>Paddy x</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
