Raising money for

WellChild

Charity Registration No. 289600

WellChild is the national charity for sick children and provides practical help for children and their families as they deal with serious illness and complex conditions. Funded solely by the people of the UK, for more than 30 years, WellChild has been instrumental in saving the lives of thousands of sick children across a range of conditions covering the three key areas of:

Care - WellChild has created a team of WellChild Children's Nurses who work with sick children and their families in the community to give care and practical support to children living at home with complex care needs.

Support - To provide practical and tangible support to young people and families, WellChild has created its Helping Hands scheme which enlists the practical support of volunteers right across the country to tackle one-off projects in the homes of sick children.

Research - WellChild's dedication to helping sick children both now and in the future is shown by the charity's investment of more than £20 million in life-changing and ground-breaking children's health research projects.

My story

I ran my first full marathon on Sunday 26th April. This was the was the hardest physical challenge I have ever faced. It was a continual struggle for 26.2 miles. I took this on to raise money for WellChild, an amazing charity that works tirelessly to support sick children and their families at times of crisis. They need our support more than ever during these tough economic times.

Please make all that effort worthwhile and help me raise loads of money for the unfortunate kids that WellChild supports. It's a great cause!

Here's some examples of the brave children that WellChild supports: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQmjqIryeCs http://www.wellchild.org.uk/WhatWeDo-CaseStudies.asp

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

Thanks for your support!
