<p>Many thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for Winston's Wish.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In September, a friend and colleague of mine ran a half marathon (you know who you are!) at which point I thought "I wonder if I could do that?!"&nbsp;having done almost no running for nearly 13 years (half my life!). So, I dig out my trainers, and off I go! By the end of October, I'd decided on the Reading Half Marathon as my target... Why not... something to aim for! The picture to the left is me (in the yellow!)&nbsp;after about 5 and a half miles... just imaging what it'll look like after more than 13!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I have chosen two charities to raise sponsorship for - Winston's Wish (the page you are looking at) and Help for Heroes (please go to www.justgiving.com/james-quincey-help-for-heroes).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Winston's Wish is a charity very close to my heart, and I know that they do a phenomenal work supporting children who have lost a (or tragically both) parent. As most of you will know, I lost my mother when I was 14, so have first-hand experience of how difficult such situations are.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now! And if you could possibly convince yourself to donate to both of my charities, I will love you forever!</p>
