Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I must be slightly mad but every year I watch the London Marathon on TV and think 'I wish I was runing that, I wonder if I could'.  Well here's my chance to prove it, I am officially signed up and running for The Children's Society (I say running, but probably shuffling is a more accurate description of what I will be doing).

The Children's society works with tens of thousands of children in England every year.  Children who are experiencing violence, neglect, poverty and isolation on a daily basis.  The Children's Society intervene, rescue and provide ongoing support to Children that have been living in fear and importantly with time they enable these children to be children again.

For more information on The Children's Society, please visit the website www.childrenssociety.org.uk and have a look at all the great and varied work that the charity does.  Your money will enable The Children's Society to reach more children that need their help so please sponsor me as much as you are able to afford.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

I shall endeavour to keep everyone updated with my training progress on my blog http://siobhansmarathonshuffle.blogspot.com/ ... wish me luck!
