Welcome to our fund raising page and thanks for taking the time out to visit.
This year, Chris Jukes, Katie Belsham, Shabab Qadar, Sarah-Jane Curtis and Werner Baumker are aiming to run the London Marathon and, in doing so, raise money for The Mulberry Bush School.
The Mulberry Bush School is a non-maintained special school providing therapeutic residential care and education for severely emotionally troubled and vulnerable primary school age children.
The children who attend the Mulberry Bush School have suffered severe emotional trauma due to the accumulation of adverse experiences in infancy and early childhood. These experiences have left them with high degrees of distress and bewilderment, a lack of trust and hope, and without an adequate foundation on which to build a sense of self-worth.
In partnership with the family and with an actively involved referring authority, the School aims to equip each child with the personal, emotional, social and learning skills to cope in a family and in a local school and community.
Please give as generously as possible to what we hope you agree is a very worthy cause. Donations/pledges can be made here, or alternatively by writing a cheque payable to 'Mulberry Bush School' (registered charity number 309565), which can be handed to any one of the team.
For more information on the team and the cause, please visit our website at http://www.grosvenormarathon2007.co.nr
Many thanks for your generosity and support.
Chris, Katie, Shabab, Sarah-Jane and Werner
