My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Having hung up my running shoes for the last decade, the lure of a finishing post beside the Grand Canal was just too much. I am not expecting a glamorous finale and I need a lot more motivation than visions of San Marco to get me through the 26 odd miles... Thus I am donning my trainers to raise money for the vital work undertaken by Venice in Peril.

A world without Venice would be a sadder place. Few people realise that without support Venice will be largely uninhabitable by the end of the 21st century. What a tragedy if our children's children could no longer experience the glories of this extraordinary city. If you would like to know more click here http://bit.ly/BrPP4

Please support Venice in Peril with preserving the past and protecting the future.

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