2010 British 10K London run · 11 July 2010 ·
Hi! Thank you for visiting our page!
We are going to be running the 10k through central London in support of the Cancer Laryngectomee Trust.
CLT is a charity that is especially important to me as it was founded by my grandfather following his diagnosis of throat cancer and the subsequent laryngectomy operation to help support other people in his situation as he was shocked by the lack of support for rehabilitation of people that have had their voicebox removed.
CLT, now run by my mum and aunts, offers a motivating free book ‘Laryngectomy is not a Tragedy’ to all laryngectomees and health professionals. It also produces newsletters containing help and vital information for its members, arranges free social functions, promotes awareness and training in organisations such as St Johns Ambulance and gives modest grants to members, usually towards the purchase of medical equipment.
Your donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference. Five pounds, for example, will pay for a copy of the book to be sent to a Speech Therapist to assist their work or fifteen pounds will pay for a Welcome Pack for a new member.
Any donations would be extremely gratefully received and I know that any donation will make a real difference to laryngecomees and their families.
Thank you from us all!
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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
