Story
Hi Everyone, as you can see my name is Shirley!
I'm a Civil Servant (HMRC) based in Liverpool and to help me keep fit I took up running and joined the athletics club in my local area of Wallasey.
Well i'm getting fitter everyday and decided to use this new found energy to run my first half marathon, the event is the Lancaster Half Mararathon which takes place on the 9th November 2008!
I've been training hard and ready to go, however to give me that little bit more incentive I have decided to try and raise some money for charity!
The Charity is called the "Walking With Giants Foundation". It's a national charity based in Merseyside. It's been created to help individuals affected by Majewski Osteodysplastic Primordial Dwarfism Type II and other forms of proportionate short stature.
In a nutshell individuals effected by this condition are classed as some of the smallest people in the world. Everything they do requires effort, determination and support!
To find out more about the Foundation visit thier website www.walkingwithgiants.org
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Walking With Giants Foundation 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 and thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Shirley
