We are raising money for Depression Alliance in memory of our mum, Stacey Vaughan (aka Whitman/Nicholas) who suffered from bi-polar disorder (a severe depression-related illness). Please read the blurb about the charity - this is such an important cause and more people are suffering than we realise.

A few years ago we used this page to publicise a memorial arts festival event, so we already have a few grand on here, but this year we want to raise even more. This year, James will be undertaking a series of gruelling challenges, including Tough Mudder (involving a 12mile assault course which requires navigating electric fences and other dangers), a half marathon, the Dublin Marathon and the British 10k which he aims to do in an amazing personal best time. Please sponor James to make all this pain and effort worthwhile!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor James: Depression Alliance 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.

Thank you sooooo much for your support.

Vanessa, James, Ashley and Fred :-)
