Story

Hi there!!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!!!

So most of you are probably aware that I absolutely hate running, especially 'long' distance!!!  I decided to put myself through the London 10k........because its for a fantastic charity which is also very close to me.

My friend Katie Maguire has Down's Syndrome, and every week she attends swimming, athletics and multi-sport classes run by volunteers at her local Special Olympics club in St Albans.  Katie is such a ray of sunshine, she is so happy and brightens up not only mine but everyones day.

The Special Olympics Great Britain offers year-round sport training and competition opportunities and is open to all people with intellectual (learning) disabilities regardless of their ability.

Any donation of any size from your hard-earned cash is seriously appreciated and will make my training worth the effort.

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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.  You literally can make a direct difference to my friend's life.
