Raising money for

Karen Morris Memorial Trust

Charity Registration No. 1075539

The KMMT was set up in 1999 to continue the initiative of a 23 year old student who passed away in September 1998 one year after being diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia. The Trust's main objective is to provide facilities for leukaemia patients and their families which would not otherwise be available. The first Karen's Home from Home was opened at Hammersmith Hospital in 2007 and the Trust is also funding complementary therapists and a support counsellor at the Royal Free in London and the Queen Elizabeth in Birmingham with other projects under discussion.

My story

Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page.

The Karen Morris Memorial Trust was set up by my friend Debby after her beautiful sister Karen tragically lost the battle to leukemia over 10 years ago. Since then, Debby and her Mum Sylvia have put their hearts into raising money to provide better facilites for leukemia patients and their families. The charity is particularly close to my heart and i was thrilled to recently find out that they have raised over £1,000,000 - amazing.

However, i'm now facing the hideously daunting challenge of completing the 26.2 miles.... why oh why didn't i sign up for a sponsored silence..(I'd win) or some kind of dance-athon (so much more fun)!! Am quite determined to complete the course in about 5 hours. Or at least within 8 hours otherwise they dont give you a medal or silver foil cape thing.

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

Thank you for having faith in me.. I wont let you down
