My story

 

As a child I was very slim and hated running. Now aged 48, one of those things has changed (and it's not running). I am on a mission to get fit and running is part of the plan. The target of running a 10k in July is just the motivation I need.

The monies raised will enable Family Rights Group to campaign for legislative and practice changes that would enable:

- more  vulnerable children, who would otherwise be in care, to be raised safely and securely by grandparents and other relatives and

- these children and carers to receive the practical and financial support they need, including help with managing contact.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Family Rights Group 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 please sponsor me now!
