Story

In September 2015 I will be competing in Coast to Coast Scotland. The race starts on the East coast of Scotland  in Nairn & finishes on the West coast of Scotland in Glencoe.  I will cover 105 gruelling miles; running, cycling and kayaking over the course of 2 days. See the link below;

I am raising money for Sam's Legacy in memory of Sam Allen. Sam lived in the same Village as me in Devon. He tragically lost his brave battle with cancer last year. Sam was just 18 years old.

Sam was given a specialist mobility scooter by a charity called New Life to increase his independence during his illness to allow Sam to spend more quality time with his friends and family.

Sam's Legacy was set up with the New Life Foundation in Sam's memory to raise £40,000 every year to help ensure that no disabled or terminally ill child in Devon has to go without the vital equipment they need and for them to benefit in the same way that Sam did.

The Coast to Coast is going to be the toughest event of my life to date & is going to hurt a great deal!! My pain will feel insignificant compared to the good I can do raising money to help other terminally ill children. 

 Please support my event with whatever you can give, it really is a great cause.

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.

Many thanks for taking the time to read my page,
