My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online for a great cause. We're all getting older and most of us, hopefully, will not suffer any abuse in our later years. However many people unfortunately find themselves in exactly this situation and helpless - Action on Elder Abuse is here to protect and prevent the abuse of vulnerable older people. Have a look at their website for more details. http://www.elderabuse.org.uk/

This is my first marathon and I am hoping to stagger round in a reasonable time - providing the training plan works and I don't get many more colds like the one I have just had for 10 days.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Action on Elder Abuse 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support. It's really appreciated.

Richard
