Virgin London Marathon 2011 · 17 April 2011 ·

Starlight is the UK’s leading charity for children’s play in hospitals and hospices. We work to ensure every child can experience the power of play, supporting their mental and physical health during treatment and recovery from illness.

Story

I'm running the London Marathon on the 17th April (for the first and last time)!

 

I need to ask your help to raise vital funds for a fantastic cause. Starlight Children’s Foundation is a charity which has a massive impact on the lives of seriously and terminally ill children and their families.

 

In case your questioning whether this is a good cause, please click on this link to see who is waiting for a wish to be granted: http://www.starlight.org.uk/category/waiting-for-wishes/

 

They are the only children’s charity delivering services into every children’s ward in hospitals and hospice across the UK. They will aim to help 500,000 children in the UK in 2011, but they can’t do it without people’s continued support. They don’t waste your money either; 88p in every £1 donated goes directly to the good cause.

 

Also, don’t take my word for it, just watch Stephen Fry introducing the team: http://www.starlight.org.uk/what-we-do/ or alternatively, they are on Channel 5 at 7:30pm most Wednesday evenings.

 

A massive thank you in advance for all of your help AND all the beers you can drink on me for anyone mad enough to cheer me along on the day!
