Hi there.

The Cheltenham Half Marathon is nearly upon us (or me, rather) and I've decided that I'm going to run myself silly in the hope that you will feel pity and donate to the wonderful charity that I shall be representing - Hop, Skip & Jump.

I visited Hop, Skip & Jump in mid-June and was impressed by the set-up. The centre supports children with special needs by providing a safe, secluded and beautiful environment in which they can interact with other children and benefit from the many facilities that the chairty provides.

Despite how well established the centre is, there are still areas which are incomplete, such as the sensory rooms and even replacement batteries for larger pieces of equipment cost a lot. I want to put the money I raise towards heightening the experiences these children have when they are at the centre, so please donate towards the cause and help a local, independent charity continue its great work!
