Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

Please note that I will also be taking part in the night rider 100km cycle event on the 19th June 2010 to raise further funds for the Christian Blind Mission, so I would really appreciate as many sponsors as possible to try to reach the £1000 target.

So please dig deep and sponsor me now!

Why not check out the Christian Blind Mission web site below, to find out more about what they do with the money donated to them.

Remember that I am taking part in both events mentioned above, so please help me to help them by making a difference!

I really could do with your prayer support as Jesus is the only one who's going to get me through all the training and round the 26 miles and 385 yard course.

Philippians 4:13.

Thanks for all your support.

God Bless!

Update on Marathon: It was great & worth the pain...lol... I managed to complete the race in 4hours and 24mins thanks be to God, who carried me through! 

I had beaten my race time from the year 2007 by 13minutes which I was really happy with!   :o)

Please remember that it is not too late to donate. (Ooo I'm a poet, and I did know it.!...lol..)

Thank you! x

 

Update on the bike ride: started off at Crystal Palace on Saturday 19th June at 11pm and cycled though London, it was fantastic to see London lit up at night, especially the London Eye, Big Ben and Tower Bridge. I cycled past Buckingham Palace in the early hours of Sunday morning which brought back memories to me of running the London marathon as that is the home straight for the finish.

The nightrider was 60miles in total with three short stops along the way for some snacks and drinks. The ride ended back up to Crystal Palace in time for some well earned Breakfast on Sunday morning at 7am.

Then a short bike ride back home for me..lol…

Shower then bed!
