Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am running the marathon for Regain, a fantastic charity dedicated solely to improving the independence of all British men and women who have become tetraplegic (sometimes referred to as quadriplegic) as a result of a sports or leisure injury. Please watch the video below in the 'gallery' to understand the impact that your money has on people's lives.</p> <p>My Godfather Roger Belson was the director of Regain. He sadly passed away on 25th December 2011. He became paralysed after a car accident in 1989 and campaigned to help others like himself who had had a life changing accident.</p> <p>Regain means a lot to me so please dig deep and give generously.</p> <p><em>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</em></p>
