Flora London Marathon 2007 · 22 April 2007 ·

WellChild is the national charity for seriously ill children. Thousands of children live with complex medical needs. Many spend months, or years in hospital because there is no support enabling them to leave. We exist to give these children the best chance to thrive: at home, with their families.

Story

Hello everyone!!!

 Some mad person  (won't name names) decided it would be a good idea to run the 2007 Flora London Marathon.  Back in the summer of 2006 on a hot summers day with the smell of BBQ aroma in the air and a cold beer in the hand, April 2007 seemed a very long way away........Fast forward to the dark, cold, wet winter nights when we have to get outside and run a few miles (and much more at the weekend) it doesn't seem such a great idea! 

 I also have the added challenge of losing approximately 3 stone in weight as well as training for the marathon and having to run regularly with the wife and sister in law which isn't going to be pleasant (neither is the training)!

 Who are we raising money for?  WellChild, the children's health charity, has been working to improve children's health for more than 25 years. WellChild's research nurses and doctors work tirelessly to develop better treatments and cures, and improve the quality of life of sick children.

 Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: WellChild will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

 April 2007 is looming ever nearer and in the words of Bob Geldof  "we need your money"!  Your donation, however small is greatly appreciated and thank you!

 We will update this page on a regular basis so please visit again!

David, Christine and Caroline

 ***UPDATE***

Unfortunately Caroline is not able to run the marathon due to injury - but is taking part in next years marathon.  Training is going well for me and Christine and we are all set for Sunday 22nd April!  Fundraising is going well - a big thank you to everyone who has pledged donations.
