Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Sarah and James have decided to run the London marathon in April 2009 - but we can't do it without your help! James will be running for BBACT (Blind Business Association Charitable Trust), and I've chosen to run for Mencap - a charity that aims to improve the lives of those with learning difficulties. (www.mencap.org.uk)

I need to raise £1,600 and therefore any support you can give me - no matter how big or small - can really help!

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

If you're feeling extra generous and want to help James along the way, please visit his justgiving page at: www.justgiving.com/jamespandsarahm

If you have any questions for us, please feel free to give us an email:

Sarah: s.melville@lboro.ac.uk

James: jamesparamore26@googlemail.com

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Here's some idea of what your support can achieve:

  • £25 could help us to make the first visit to a family who have a newly-born child with a learning disability and desperately need advice and support.
  • £50 could pay for two young people with a learning disability to take part in our Gateway Award programme for a year (this is similar to the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme).
  • £140 would enable us to respond to ten calls on our freephone learning disability helpline that provides vital information and support to people with a learning disability and their families.
  • £250 could pay for 16 children who cannot speak to attend a special workshop where they can learn the Makaton sign language.
  • £570 could pay for the 16-week course we run for volunteers to train them to provide advice and support to families who have children with a learning disability.
