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

To celebrate 10 years of being a reformed fat kid, I have decided to run the London Marathon in April.

But more importantly, I have chosen to run for WellChild, the UK's childrens charity, who have been working to improve children's health for more than 25 years. To help WellChild continue helping improve children's treatments here in the UK, I am asking that you make a small donation to their cause. Any currency and any amount will do, it's the thought that counts! You can read more about WellChild at www.wellchild.org.uk

For those doubters out there (Plakas), I have been training hard and just completed my first half-marathon last weekend. I ran in a time of 1hr. and 34m and hope to run the actual race in under 3hrs 30 minutes.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: WellChild 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. If you're in the US and itemize your deductions, you can receive a tax benefit as well! Please note that the donation amounts are in Pounds and NOT Dollars!!

So join Vince and Shane, co-owners of the WWE and please sponsor me now!

Thanks so much!
