My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Yes, I'm swapping Flash's help with four legs, for my two on 26th April 2009. I will be running the Flora London Marathon in aid of 'Waves'; I'm hoping to run it in 4 hours and 40 minutes. Every little bit you sponsor me will help keep me going on the day, and will make a difference to the lives of many other people.

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.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Kerrigan Savage Waves Charitable Trust 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!
