Raising money for

WellChild

Charity Registration No. 289600

WellChild is the national charity for sick children and provides practical help for children and their families as they deal with serious illness and complex conditions. Funded solely by the people of the UK, for more than 30 years, WellChild has been instrumental in saving the lives of thousands of sick children across a range of conditions covering the three key areas of:

Care - WellChild has created a team of WellChild Children's Nurses who work with sick children and their families in the community to give care and practical support to children living at home with complex care needs.

Support - To provide practical and tangible support to young people and families, WellChild has created its Helping Hands scheme which enlists the practical support of volunteers right across the country to tackle one-off projects in the homes of sick children.

Research - WellChild's dedication to helping sick children both now and in the future is shown by the charity's investment of more than £20 million in life-changing and ground-breaking children's health research projects.

My story

I really feel I have a wonderful life. I have two wonderful children Ben and Tom and a beautiful wife, Denise. I was watching some of the 2008 Marathon and thought that although I am not really a runner it was about time I gave something back. Looking through loads of charities I decided to go for WellChild. They look after sick children and their families all over the UK. I thankfully have no first hand experience of what this must be like. However my cousin had two very premature babies Lilly and Lexie and Lilly sadly died. The other, Lexie is now almost 2. I hope that by successfully raising £1500 then I, with your help will be able to help children and their families cope a little. I'm really thankful that you've even taken the time to read this far and thank you for any donation that you may make no matter how small.

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

So if you can, please sponsor me now!

Thank you

Phil
