£40k Challenge for Ciara

As many of you will know, Sian and I turn 40 this year.  In the year we celebrate 40 years of life, it is also the anniversary of our daughter Ciara, who was still born as a result of Edwards Syndrome; a chromosome related syndrome, in April 2003. This would have been her fifth year.

To make this year special, we have committed to raise £40k for SANDS.

At the time of Ciara’s death SANDS were a huge support and made funeral arrangements etc (all at their own expense)

Our fundraising will be based around the following activities

Complete approximately 40 miles worth of sponsored runs including the Great North Run (13 m iles), Glasgow Half Marathon (13 miles) and 2x10k races to be confirmed
Cycle 40 miles-potentially from Bomnarche store in Perth to Bonmarche Falkirk

We will also host a charity ball/dinner at Glenskirlie House on November 6th 2008.

However this list is not exhaustive (although potentially exhausting!). We will do whatever we need to do to achieve our goal of £40k.

Therefore all we ask of you is to support us in whatever way possible.
General encouragement
Sponsorship for any/all of my activities
Donation
Potential auction prizes for charity dinner
Perhaps you would even like to join us in one of our activities.
