Hi All

I will be running a half marathon on 23rd February to raise money for Mencap which is a charity for people with Learning Disabilities.

Your donations will help Mencap:

EMPLOYMENT - support more people with a learning disability into employment. Currently, only 6% of people with a learning disability have a job. Our amazing employment coordinators help people with a learning disability develop the skills, confidence and experience to find their very first job - opening up a world of possibility, some independence, friendship and inclusion in the community.

SUPPORT - ensure parents have the right support for their child at the very start of life so they have everything they need to navigate the complex world of social care. Early intevention can make a huge difference to the future of a child's life.

FRIENDSHIP - support people with a learning disability so that they do not feel lonely and isolated. Adults, children and young people with a learning disability have fewer opportunities to make new and meet existing friends. You could help fund our friendship programmes, many of which bring people (both with learning disability and without) together to change attitudes and build lasting friendships.

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.

Many thanks for visiting my Just Giving page
