Thank you for visiting my justgiving page, on the 26th April i shall be running the London Marathon.

I have chosen to raise funds for Rainbow Trust Children's Charity which is CMS Cameron McKenna's Charity of the Year. Rainbow supports families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness.

To make this challenge worthwhile I want to raise as much as I can, please be generous with your donations as it will make every step even more worth while.

Support means being with a bereaved mother who is on her hands and knees threatening suicide, who by the time we leave the house, many hours later, is able to laugh at her self

Support is comforting a distraught surgeon, after he had to tell a family that their child had died while he was operating on her

Support is making cakes with child propped in a high chair, because he was too weak to stand, and only had a week left to live

Support is reassuring a sibling that cancer isn’t a big bad monster coming to get him too

Support is listening on the phone while a mother sobs her heart out, because the weather is cold, and her son has been buried without an overcoat

“When your world is turned upside down by having a child who is ill, sometimes you just need someone you can rely on – I have always been able to rely on Rainbow’s Support”
Mother

Any donation you give will go directly to helping Rainbow give the support that you can see is so badly needed. At any one time there are 10,000 families in the UK who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness, Rainbow currently supports 10% of these families and with less than 1% government funding they need our support.

Wish me luck

All the best

Simon
