Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running my very first half marathon this September. A couple of years ago I would have laughed at the idea, but since I've started running regularly I've been building up to taking on a bigger challenge! I've never run this far before and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to make it to the finish line injury-free. As I'll be putting in the hours and the miles, I'd love you to put in the money to support this fantastic cause!

Here's a little bit more information about The Fostering Network. If you need any more persuasion to donate, this is it!

The Fostering Network is the UK’s leading fostering charity. Children and young people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in their potential and by working with their foster families and the services that support them, we help everyone who is fostered to achieve the very best they can.

We are passionate about foster care and the difference it makes. We recognise and champion the vital role that foster families play in transforming children’s lives, and work with fostering services to ensure they get the help and support they need.

As the essential network at the heart of foster care, we bring together everyone who is involved in the lives of children and young people who are fostered. We lead, inspire, motivate and support them to make foster care better.

Together with our members and supporters we are a powerful catalyst for change, and we’ve been leading the fostering agenda for more than 40 years.  We work with over 400 fostering services and 52,500 foster carers, influencing and shaping policy and practice at every level.

As the UK’s leading fostering charity, we’re the essential organisation for everyone who is involved in or cares about fostering.  We rely on donations, and the support of our members, to continue our life-changing work, and with your help we’ll make foster care better for every child and every carer, every day.


Thanks for taking the time to read, and I really appreciate your support!
