Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I decided to do something different, and run home for Christmas, from Bristol (where I live) to Reading (where I grew up).  I thought it was 91 miles, but it turned out to be 95.  It was physically and emotionally exhausting, but I'm delighted to have smashed my fundraising target and raised so much for Motor Neurone Disease.  Hopefully the total will continue to rise!

I was inspired to do this run after a friend, Chris, was diagnosed in July.  The funds are going to her local branch (Reading and West Berks).

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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
