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

PLEASE donate and help me to make a difference.

I've lots of training ahead for what will be my first ever half marathon on May 29th 2016. It's a big deal to me and to those charities I want to help and with even a small donation from you we can all make a difference.  

All money raised through this page with your kind help (fingers crossed I will raise £1000) will go to Zoe's Place Baby Hospice - Liverpool  http://www.zoes-place.org.uk/liverpool/

A couple of weeks ago I also registered to run a full marathon to take place in Germany in early October 2016, and I have chosen Vasculitis UK http://www.vasculitis.org.uk/ to benefit from any pledges and donations; so I have just (18/Jan/2016) set up a different Just Giving page for the marathon: https://www.justgiving.com/Mark-Kelly-Munich-Marathon-26/ 

Here is the event page so you can see where I will be running the Rock & Roll' : http://www.runrocknroll.com/liverpool/

SEE IMAGES IN THE GALLERY below on this page: Text Your Donation Service (provided by Vodafone) it's easy to text a donation straight from your phone/ipad/tablet.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted junk emails. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

One final thing - GiftAid... 

1. If you donate from the UK

a scheme enabling registered charities to reclaim tax on a donation made by a UK taxpayer, effectively increases the amount of the donation by nearly a third.  "using Gift Aid means that the taxman will add 28p to every pound you give"

PLEASE donate and together we can make a massive difference. Every penny really does count.
