Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

13 miles is a long way for little legs to go, especially for someone who talks a lot about staying active but doesn't really like running! I'm determined to run the whole route but any encouragement for me by supporting this good cause is much appreciated!

I'm raising funds to help sustain the great work of the Sporting Memories Foundation, with networks growing nationally and starting soon in Suffolk. The charity works with volunteers and  older people, who may be managing their dementia, depression or loneliness, by engaging them in social and physical activity,  helping them to recall memories of watching or playing sport, helping them connect with family and new friends, enjoying the rediscovery of their past associations with sport. This small piece of support can make a big difference to the quality of life for so many people in our community.

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.
