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
