All,

i know you all get inundated with charity requests from various organisations especially at this time of year.  im doing my 1st half marathon on sunday and i wasnt going to do it for a charity.  however i have had a last minute change of heart.

i have opted to do my run in aid of an individual as opposed to an organisation.  i have spoken to a few charities to find the most suitable candidate.

so i have decided to do my run in aid of a young lady who moved to england a year ago with her baby twins to escape from her abusive husband.  she was tormented for several years by her husband who physically and mentally abused her and spent most of her hard earned cash on drugs. the lady i am trying to help has nothing.  she has been provided with a small 1 bedroom flat by the council but nothing else.  her electricity and gas have been turned off twice in the past 3 months and on each occasion is has neeed an individuals generosity to bale her out.  this lady has no family to help her and is very much a single mum trying to survive.

ive set a target of £2000 to help this lady and i am gaurenteeing that all the money we raise will go directly to her.  none of it will go to a chartiy organsiation. £2000 will make a massive difference to this ladies life.  it will keep her babies, warm and fed throughout winter.

i thank you in advance for all your genorosity.

Jamie
