My story

 

I have foolishly decided to get my ass into gear and attempt my first 10k run. At the same time it means i can hopefully raises loads of money for the charity my mum works for - the Amber Foundation.

They help homeless unemployed young people whose lives are going nowhere to gain the motivation, confidence and skills they need to gain employment and appropriate accommodation; homeless unemployed young people aged 17 to 30 who may also have misused drugs or alcohol, lack self-esteem or been involved in crime or are ex-offenders. In a residential setting Amber offers a fresh start; a chance to sort out problems, build self-confidence, gain practical skills and qualifications and generally acquire the know-how for independent living and work.

With the economy as it is at the moment it is even more important to help small, unglamourous charities like Amber to raise money. The important thing is the people they help have done the hard part, getting clean and deciding to make a go of their life, and deserve all the help they can get.

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

So please sponsor me with loadsa money!

Thanks

Tom
