Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The tights are on! Training is underway...the focus is now fundraising.  

Have you ever been disappointed to hear how wasteful the larger charities are with your donation? This is an opportunity to give to a smaller organisation doing brilliant things, who really care about how the money is spent.  

School for Parents enables disabled children and empowers parents.  Children are taught a range of skills to prepare them for the future; and their parents learn alongside them whilst being provided with information, practical and emotional support.  More than 90% who attend the pre-school develop the skills and confidence they need to enter mainstream education.

Running a marathon started as a spark of inspiration after watching the London Marathon last year.  I missed out on a ballot place and couldn't secure a charity space. However, since becoming aware of the School for Parents some time ago, I've wanted to do something for them - so here I am.   I've battled with injuries but I feel this is achievable.  Can you support me please? 

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

Footprints Conductive Education Centre is a Nottingham charity that transforms the lives of children with mobility and communication difficulties, and empowers families with disabled children. With your help we can continue to provide Conductive Education, and reach more children and families.
