My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who's sponsored me so far, including everyone who's named below, McLaren Racing Ltd, Fike Fire Protection and Guildford Lions - as well as all those cheques and donations from friends and supporters too numerous to name! Thank you for your support!

And, just to verify - I did complete the course - every gruelling, painful mile of it. So if, you haven't sponsored me already - please do now, it isn't too late! And read on to find out what the money you donate can do for local young people! Thank you.

My marathon efforts will go towards running Guildford YMCA's 'Motivate' Project, which is based at their Plantation Cafe in Market Street. Please help me support this fantastic project so we can really change the lives of Guildford's young people!

Motivate, the project I'm supporting,  works with young people who are:

- Marginalised

- Adopting offending behaviour

- In prison

- Dependent on drugs or alcohol,

- Demotivated or just lack direction

Motivate uses group work and individual support sessions to really develop and encourage these young people and to re-engage them in areas they are interested in. Some of them are encouraged to attend the Princes Trust Team, run at the project, whilst others are helped and supported into education and training. Each year, over 60 youngsters are given help and support from the Motivate team to make profound and lasting changes to their lives.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Guildford YMCA will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
