Story

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!

On the 29th of September I am running the Windsor half marathon, and then a week later I am running the London Royal Parks half marathon. Why I hear you cry? For charity! And a damn good one at that. In 1987 a chap called Tim Grandage, who I am related to by marriage, gave up his job, and moved to Calcutta to look after street children. What first started off just giving medical care, and sharing his home with the homeless children, has transformed over the years. He now provides a school for 250 street children giving them a chance in life.

Please donate what you can. I am sacrificing my knees and my feet by doing the two half marathons. A little money here makes the world of difference to the children there.
