On 25th April, I will be running in the London Marathon in order to raise money for Whizz-Kidz the children's charity. I have never run a marathon, so this will be a challenge for me.

Whizz-Kidz is a charity that is all about giving disabled children and young people the independence to enjoy an active childhood – at home, at school and at play. By providing them with customised mobility equipment, training, advice and life skills, the charity actually give them something much more important; the independence to be themselves. Whizz-Kidz make an immediate and life changing difference to their lives and their families. I have attached a link to their website which explains more fully the good work which they do.

I am asking friends and family to consider sponsoring me for this event. I have two ambitious goals – first to complete the run without sustaining any bodily harm and second to meet my personal goal of raising £7500 for Whizz-Kidz. I would greatly appreciate your kind consideration by making a donation toward this goal.

I appreciate that you may receive many requests like this, so please do not feel under any sense of obligation or pressure but I would greatly appreciate your support in sponsoring me.

Thank you for your kind support.
