Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

With the ripe old age of 50 fast approaching (not this year!), I'm aiming to run my first half marathon for Contact a Family at the Great North Run 2017.

Contact a Family are an invaluable source of information and advice for families who have disabled children across the whole of the UK.

With the ever changing landscape of health and social care services, I believe that Contact a Family are an essential lifeline for families to access the services they need, from simple telephone guidance or one-to-one help and presentations and seminars they deliver.

They are a charity, and depend on donations to continue to deliver this invaluable service.

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.
