Story

Hello
I know you must get loads of requests to donate money for different causes, so thanks for visiting this site.

Yes I am taking part in the London Marathon this year.  I should get round ok and hopefully a bit faster than anyone wearing a full deep sea diving outfit. Already seen off the challenge of that Radcliffe girl.

I am running in support of a charity called DebRA, which supports individuals and families affected by EB - a currently incurable genetic skin condition.

I first became aware of EB through a colleague , Mick Thomas - whose son Oliver has the condition.

Pleae read the information regarding the charity to the left hand side of this box  and to find out more and to view a short video clip  showing the reality of living with EB, please visit www.debra.org.uk

The picture on this page is of a young sufferer called Brida, who was born in 2007 with the most severe form of EB. Her little life was severely limited and Brida eventually died on 23rd March 2008, aged 14 months.

She had only been expected to live for a few months, but she had astounded everyone by making her first birthday. This was assisted with the support of specialist EB nurses based at Great Ormond Street Hospital, funded by DebRA  UK.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: DebRA will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Peter
