Flora London Marathon 2005 · 17 April 2005 ·

Across the UK, a child is diagnosed with a severe disability every 25 minutes and over 98% of disabled children are cared for at home. The Lady Hoare Trust was set up in 1962 to help children disabled by the drug thalidomide and it now works together with the charity Contact a Family to provide advice, information and support to parents of all disabled children - no matter what their medical condition.

Story

I've done it!

On Sunday 12th June, I ran the Edinburgh Marathon.

Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored and supported me through this personal challenge. I couldn't have done it without you.

I've chosen to run for the Lady Hoare Trust (LHT) which provides support to children who suffer from childhood arthritis, and to their families. This illness, most commonly associated with the elderly, has a devastating effect when it strikes the young. I have selected this charity because a very special little girl that I know suffers from this debilitating illness. Unfortunately, there is no cure.

At present, there is limited help and support available, and the money I raise will go towards increasing the resources accessible to families throughout Scotland. I would be extremely grateful if you would sponsor me and help raise more money for this worthy cause. Another favour, can you please donate your sponsorship rather than pledge it. As this fundraising page is tied to the London Marathon, it will actually appear as if I have not completed the run, and therefore pledges will not be collected. I will post an update on this page once I have completed the Edinburgh Marathon to let you know how I get on. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Lady Hoare Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Many thanks for your support.
