The Children's Trust, provides care, education, therapy and rehabilitation to children with multiple disabilities, complex health needs and acquired brain injury. When working at UCB in Sutton, I (Marcella) got see what great work is done by the staff and volunteers there; and think I speak on behalf of most ex-UCB employees when I say that we had some good times fundraising for the Trust over the years from cake sales, to marathon runs and community days (to name just a few activities).

So, when mum (Hilary) suggested it would be a nice idea to take part in this event as a former UCB employee, and raise some much needed funds for the Trust; I wasn't about to let her get away with not doing it too!

We'll be completing the 7 mile course along with hundreds of women, to raise awareness of parents who have a child with multiple disabilities, for whom a good night's sleep is a rare luxury. Their child needs care and attention 24 hours a day even through the night. The Children's Trust provides outreach carers and nurses day and night to support families.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks

Marcella and Hilary xx
