Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I work in the same local area as Wirral Foodbank, where a weekly collection for the foodbank was organised leading up to Christmas. This highlighted the great work that the charity does, and having previously been a volunteer member of another foodbank, I appreciate their huge importance. I therefore decided I wanted to raise money for Wirral Foodbank by running the Rome Marathon.

Wirral Foodbank provides emergency food to local people in crisis.  In 2017, the foodbank fed and supported 11,280 people; of this, 3,538 were children.  Over 64,000 people have been fed and supported, since the foodbank started in 2011.

Wirral Foodbank aims to ensure that no one in the local community goes hungry, although donations are imperative for achieving this. Any donations would be greatly appreciated, irrespective of the amount for this extremely worthy 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.
