Raising money for

When You Wish Upon A Star

Charity Registration No. 1060963

When You Wish Upon a Star are a small charity whose primary aim is to grant the Wishes of children between the ages of 2 - 16 years old suffering from life threatening illnesses.

All children have Wishes but for these children and their families that Wish is so much more precious and for the duration of their Wish, these children are able to forget about hospital routines, doctors, gruelling treatments and have the chance to smile, laugh and enjoy life like any other child.

Wishes are varied and far reaching. For some it is a trip to Disneyland in Florida or Paris to meet their favourite characters and for others it is the chance to get up close to a favourite pop star of sporting hero. Some children just want books or toys, whilst others want a computer to catch up on school work or keep in touch with their friends. Whatever the Wish, wherever possible, When You Wish Upon a Star will aim to make that Wish come true.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page

Below is why I took up the challenge but to let you know I completed it in 2 hours 52 minutes and 2 seconds.

Sunday August 2 will see me compete in the London Triathlon - swimming 1.5k, then a 40k bike ride around the capital before a 10k run just to finish it off.

It is my first triathlon and the challenge for me is to simply complete it!

After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a few days after my 24th birthday, I did not think doing anything like this would be possible.

But after finding the right balance of medication, I have been able to carry on with life pretty much as normal over the last year or two.

Now 28, I figured time is running out to complete such a big challenge!!! So 2009 is the time.

Intense training started in January and by August, I hope to be able to complete the job in hand and more importantly, raise plenty of money for Nottingham-based Wish Upon A Star charity, to help make the wishes of sick children come true.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: When You Wish Upon A Star gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

It is all for a good cause so if you wish to sponsor me and help change the lives of children with life threatening and in some cases, terminal illnesses, then please sponsor me.

Thanks for your support
