My story

Thankyou for visiting my fundraising page.

Yes, I've finally started my training and I will be running the Flora London Marathon on 26th April 2009 in aid of 'Waves'; I'm hoping to run it in 4 hours and 30 minutes, but in reality I have no idea how long it will take. Every little bit you sponsor me will make a difference to the lives of many other people and animals.

The Charity, known as Waves,was set up as a memorial to Kerrigan Savage. Kerrigan was working for Barclays Bank in Nairobi, Kenya, when he died in a motor accident on 5 April 1996. He was 26 years old. During his training with Barclays in the UK and in Kenya he become aware of the plight of so many disadvantaged children. It therefore seemed right and appropriate that a charity to operate in this sphere would provide a fitting tribute. Waves focuses on bringing some pleasure and some fun to children and in doing so to provide them with "hope for a better life". So many children simply never get the chance to be children.

Why Waves? An individual’s impact can be judged like a pebble dropped in a pool. The waves go out to the bank and are reflected back to make an ever-increasing number and variety of waves – be they good or bad. Kerrigan made a good, big splash and his waves continue to touch many lives in the UK and in Kenya.

Why I am running for Waves.Wave is a charity that is close to my heart as it represents and supports issues that are important to me. Through Waves children in africa are given the opportunity to have some fun but they also to learn the importance of protecting their envirionment. Waves places a great deal of importance on protecting the environment and on environmental education and conservation.
