Story
Hi there!
Those of you who know me personally, know that I am, at best, a recreational runner, who enjoys a few short runs where work and family life allow, and do not have the typical, streamline physique of a runner! I have, however decided to undertake my biggest challenge yet, to run the 26.2 miles of the Virgin London Marathon.
Why, you might ask would I put myself through this mental and physical challenge? For one reason only – the We Are All Making A Difference Charitable Trust! I am in the privileged position of being able to raise as much money as I can for this incredible charity, who do not take a penny from any money received!
Through family and close friends, I have been lucky enough to be introduced to the amazing work and people behind this charity as well as meeting some of the recipients of the money raised. Seeing how the money raised really does make a difference is the only inspiration I need.
We Are All Making A Difference distributes funds raised regardless of race, colour, creed or age. What I would like to emphasise again is that every £1 (or £10 / £100!!!) that you donate, the whole £1 (£10/ £100!!) goes directly to the people who need it, with no administrative costs taken.
Your money will go towards supporting causes such as fulfilling the dreams of terminally ill children with maybe a trip to Disneyland or a visit to Lapland to meet Father Christmas, just as supporting the Special Olympics and a huge number of regional projects. Seeing the affect donations have on the families and beneficiaries is totally overwhelming and the inspiration and motivation for my challenge. I never fail to be amazed by the amount of work the charity undertakes and the
incredible people involved at every level.
I would like to thank you all wholeheartedly for any donation that you can give plus words of support! I will keep you posted on progress and don’t forget to look out for me among the thousands of runners on the 28th April!
We really can all make a difference!
Thank you. Rich
