My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.  This year i am running the London Marathon (dont laugh!!) and am running it for the Children First International charity.  As is the tradition with these things i am looking for sponsorship.

The Charity

Children First International started with a desire to provide warm clothes for children in Zimbabwe and became an initiative that is becoming more challenging.

It is still a small independent charity but the desire to help under-privileged children has grown by encouraging and facilitating the development of life-skills and self-esteem and networking to raise awareness amongst children of other cultures.

A link to the chairty website is below.

The place i have in the marathon is a bonded place which means i need to raise £300 so any donations are greatly appreciated. I am aiming to do the marathon in less then 5 hours (which given my girth at the moment will be an achievement).

So please sponsor me...

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Children First International 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.
