Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For the first time I shall be running a marathon. On the 24th April 2016 myself and colleague Elliot Upton will be doing the London marathon. We will be raising money for the coops charity partner the British Red Cross in order to tackle loneliness.

Loneliness affects people of all ages and backgrounds and can be found in all types of communities. It can lead to a sense of despair and emotional and mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.

Companionship , reconnected communities and better health and well being are the potential benefits that could be enjoyed by those communities that join together with the Co-operative to address this alarming hidden crisis on their doorsteps.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
