My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On 1st November 2009 we ran the New York marathon in order to achieve not only personal goals but raise as much money as we can for our local charity.

East Renfrewshire Good Causes is a small, local charity that was set up by local resident Russell McMillan, an inspirational blind man who in January 2007 had a double transplant: pancreas & kidney.  He founded the charity to say thank you to society for his new life and now along with us you can help him do this.

The aim of our sponsorship is to raise much needed money to give to local good causes: it may be the person who lives next door, someone living on your street, or the person you said hello to at the shops this morning.  As with all such fundraising events, our real success is judged not only by crossing the finishing line, but also by the amount of money we are able to raise for our local charity.

This trip was fully funded by ourselves,  your donations go direct to the charity,  as long as everyone gives a little, together we'll make a huge difference to ER Good Causes.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.  Simple.

Together we are a stronger community.

Thank you,

Corin & Lesley (aka the sisters who love running)
