Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Some time back in August the bonkers plan was concocted for Amy, Henny, Alex and me to willingly run a half marathon (or half snickers, as I like to call it). After what feels like not long enough to train, it's now the day before, and I thought 'better late than never' to try and piggyback some fundraising onto our masochism. So, for all those who would like to show their support for our endeavours, please make a donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee to help provide urgent aid to people affected by the recent natural disasters in the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. 

Here is a link to the DEC website with details of the appeal: http://www.dec.org.uk/item/200

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate

Many thanks for your support,

Rick, Amy, Henny & Alex
