Story
Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for visiting the page.
I (and two of my close friends) will be running the Stockholm Marathon for the charity I run with my parents: The Christopher Salmon Foundation. A little over 10 years ago we lost my brother to a short illness after he contracted the streptococcal virus. Following this, my parents and I started a charity in his name funding research into this relatively little know disease. He had a great passion for poetry, having written many in his short life, we decided to set up a poetry competition in his name. This year we received over 1000 entries from poets of all ages on the Wirral. The winners invited to a poetry workshop before reading their poems on stage.
Since 2009 we’ve raised in the region of £56,000 for research and other good causes. As this is our 10th year, we’re looking to raise £10,000 through a series of events (hence the 26.2 mile adventure we're going on in Sweden). If you’d be so kind as to donate, even the smallest amount would be greatly appreciated.
If you'd like more information about the Charity, why we started it and our aims the please see the link on this page or visit chrissalmon.org.uk.
Best wishes,
Jonny
