Perennial isn't just the charity I work for as a Marketing Manager, it does vital work for thousands of people in genuine need.

Take Beryl for example. When her husband Maurice passed away she was left with an uncertain financial future. With two children at university to support as well, stress became a real issue too.

Perennial's support got Beryl through the worst of her problems, helped her sort out her financial situation, and allowed her the chance to cope with the loss of her husband.

Our aim this year is to help hundreds more people like Beryl - current and former horticulturists and their spouses, partners, or families.

But most importantly for the rest of the office, it's a chance for them to get the Marketing Manager completely caked in mud...

The more money raised on my JustGiving page will make my pre-event training, and the run itself, even muddier.

How your donations help

£25 will help towards travel costs for someone needing to visit a hospital for treatment

£50 could pay for a life-line to be installed in the home of a disabled client

£75 could buy a computer screen magnifier for a client with sight loss

Your support will make a massive difference to people like Beryl for whom Perennial isn't just a charity, it's a lifeline.

So if you want to help Beryl, or simply want to see me getting very muddy for a good cause, your support will be hugely appreciated!
